Popular leaf-peeping destinations in New England, the Upper Midwest and the aspen groves of Colorado and Utah should have vivid colors on the early side.
The hottest summer on record for parts of the U.S. stretched into the late days of August and early September, which will have an impact on the vibrancy and timing of this fall’s leaf colors.
On the contrary, drought and intense, long-lasting heat can lead to dull colors, as the conditions put trees under more stress and likely cause them to shed their leaves early, before the normal process of gradually losing chlorophyll has a chance to accelerate before leaves release from tree branches.
For the globe, August averaged about 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial averages. That translated to a record string of days without a break below 90 degrees F for Phoenix and hot and humid conditions above 100 degrees F over an uncomfortable run of days in areas of Texas. There were a couple of extreme hot spells in the U.S. Northeast, too, including in recent days and nights during the U.S. Open tennis Grand Slam.
This includes popular leaf-peeping destinations such as New England, the Upper Midwest and the aspen groves in Colorado and Utah.
