Seattle Tacoma, WA, September 1, 2026 —
New data compiled from climate studies reveals a significant warming trend in autumn temperatures affecting a vast majority of U.S. counties. The findings indicate that fall weather is becoming consistently warmer across nearly every region of the country.
The extent of this warming phenomenon is illustrated by a comprehensive map that details the temperature shifts by county.
