Do You Remember... The Last Night Of Summer?

Update 21 of the 2025 season of Fall Foliage With TR27

09.21.25

Today's update is titled as a remake of the famous lyric from the song September by Earth, Wind & Fire that goes "do you remember, the 21st night of September?" since today is September 21 and it is the last day of summer, with fall officially starting tomorrow at 2:19 PM!

Today's weather felt like a perfect closeout to summer, and I'm honestly impressed that warm weather lasted this long, but after 2023 and 2024 especially, I'm not at all surprised.

Here's the summary and fall foliage pics below:

For today, day 21:

High: 72°F
Average: 71°F
(+1)

Today's weather was basically indistinguishable from normal, with only a 1 degree difference from average and lots of sunshine to close out summer '25, and this was a CHAOTIC summer, I must admit! I want to shoutout K-Pop Demon Hunters as being THE movie of summer '25 and being the top music of the summer since the charts were SO stale (songs from '24 and even '23 were still on the charts the entire summer!) but we're getting off-topic. Back to the foliage! It was a GORGEOUS day and tomorrow looks like it will feel a bit more like summer with slightly higher temps but this week looks like it will deliver some much-needed rain to kickstart the fall foliage season and the fall season itself, this week will feel like a wet July week with some rain chances, very high nighttime lows for this time of year, and overall a vibe more similar to late August rather than late September. At least, all of it except 9/25, that is, 66 degrees does NOT usually happen as a high in midsummer, but that doesn't mean it hasn't EVER happened. July 3, 2021 was only 62 degrees!

The expected forecast from 9/22-10/5:
9/22: 🌤️ 76/55
9/23: ⛈️ 79/59 (34%)
9/24: 🌧️ 71/56 (32%)
9/25: 🌧️ 66/59 (69%)
9/26: 🌧️ 78/62 (55%)
9/27: 🌧️ 75/57 (35%)
9/28: ⛅ 76/51
9/29: ⛅ 72/46
9/30: ⛅ 69/45
10/1: ⛅ 73/46
10/2: ⛅ 73/47
10/3: ⛅ 70/44
10/4: ⛅ 68/43
10/5: ⛅ 70/44

This forecast shows a DRASTIC cooldown on 9/25 and this forecast looks ever so closer to normal, but those nighttime lows this week are REALLY pushing it this late in the season, 60s as lows? Better keep your ACs in if you haven't taken them out already, at least until September 28, that is...

Here's the main pic and fall foliage pics taken today, 9/21/25:




















Yet another small update just because. Today was a gorgeous last day of summer and I'm noticing that the foliage really IS starting to change but it's still early. By the beginning of October, we should be approaching peak season and new reports now show that for New England, it will likely be a quick-lived but bright season that will likely come early.

Anyways, tomorrow is a big update: The first day of fall! However, with temps expected to be mid-70s, it will probably feel more like the first day of summer than the first day of fall...

See you tomorrow!

Updated 7:55 PM on 9/21/25 to colorize highs based on how far above or below average they were/are.

Back To Normal Update 8 of the 2025 season of Fall Foliage With TR27 09.08.25 Today's weather was absolutely gorgeous after the crazy weekend we had that brought TORNADOES to Massachusetts! Keep in mind that we aren't tornado alley, these events are NOT common here in the Northeast, and when they happen, it's almost a freak occurrence! Here's the summary and fall foliage pics below: For today, day 8: High: 77°F Average: 76°F (+1) Today brought us back to normal weather and the pattern we had before the severe weather outbreak on Saturday, 9/6. Bring on the gorgeous weather once again! The expected forecast from 9/9-9/22: 9/9: ☀️ 74/ 49 9/10: 🌧️ 71/ 49 (40%) 9/11: 🌤️ 80/50 9/12: ☀️ 75/ 47 9/13: ⛅ 76/51 9/14: ⛅ 76/54 9/15: 🌧️ 74/51 (34%) 9/16: ⛅ 76/50 9/17: ⛅ 75/50 9/18: ⛅ 71/49 9/19: ⛅ 72/48 9/20: ⛅ 74/50 9/21: ⛅ 76/52 9/22: ⛅ 74/50 I notice a warmup pretty much right at the equinox from low 70s to mid-70s. Since the forecast has now reached the autumnal equinox (9/2...

Fall Foliage With TR27: Where's The Cooldown? (09.17.25)

Where's The Cooldown? Update 17 of the 2025 season of Fall Foliage With TR27 09.17.25 This weather lends the question: Where's The Cooldown? As I've said nearly every day for the past 16 days, it's nowhere to be found! In fact, the latest forecast shows a cooldown this weekend, but "only" down to the low 70s (9/20 MIGHT get stuck in the 60s, but it would almost be 70 if it doesn't get to 70, which is basically average for this time of year), and right after that, during the week of the equinox, we get BACK to the 80s as highs right AFTER the equinox and after THAT, we "only" fall to the low-to-mid 70s. By this time of year, we should start to struggle hitting 70, but it looks like the last 2 weeks of September will not only hit 70 but 80 as well on numerous occasions, and the first day of October is currently expected to be 75, and though that's 14 days out, that's 8°F above average, SERIOUSLY worrying in terms of the climate! We are TOTA...

New year, new me! Now that 2021 (and sadly, Betty White, RIP 12/31/2021, age 99 😭🕊️) is past us, we can have a great 2022 together! 😎👍🎉🎆🌆 What 2022 will mean for me: ACTUALITIES: I will graduate high school and (most likely) begin college at either HCC (Holyoke Community College) or UMass Amherst. (University of Massachusetts Amherst) 2022 will be my first full year as an adult, so WHO KNOWS what could happen! 😆🎓👨‍🏫 PREDICTIONS: The COVID-19 pandemic will end in the US or worldwide, omicron or one more after that could be last variant to still cause restrictions such as masks, distancing, and closure/going virtual if absolutely necessary; my prediction is  no more masks/distancing (back to "normal") by March to July 2022, ❌😷 -> ⛱️ '22 at least 25% of the US population will get COVID-19 in one way or another, we can't mask ourselves forever, although it already feels like we have after almost 2 years... 😭🦠💉💊🤒 (Currently about 12% have been infected)...
