Texans, Prepare for a Steamy Autumn: Farmers' Almanac Predicts Warmer-Than-Usual Fall

While the almanac forecasts above-average temperatures, the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center offers a similar outlook, predicting higher temperatures and average precipitation for Texas.

The Farmers' Almanac, with its long history of weather prediction since 1818, states that its readers find its forecasts accurate 80% to 85% of the time. So, Texans, brace yourselves for a warm autumn, and don't be surprised if you're feeling like you're in a pressure cooker!
