The First Full Day Of Summer

Update 23 of the 2025 season of Fall Foliage With TR27

09.23.25

Wait a minute, today's the first full day of fall, not summer! But with highs that got to the upper 70s and lots of cloudiness, it basically felt like the start of summer today, however, it's not really looking like summer anymore as more and more trees begin their color changing for the year. Temps at night are falling HARD (except for this week, which is basically back to summer, maybe that will be the name of an update later this week) and the days are getting shorter, which with the warm days are creating practically perfect conditions for foliage, the only thing we need is a little more precipitation, this cake that is fall is ALMOST perfect!

Here's the summary and fall foliage pics below:

For today, day 23:

High: 77°F
Average: 70°F
(+7)

We're now officially in fall '25. However, the temps are STILL behaving like Labor Day weekend on repeat (especially the end of this week!) and I'm still wearing shorts. On September 23. Fall lovers, it's gonna be a while! Sorry... We'll be lucky if it comes by Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day weekend at this point.

Keep in mind that starting September 25, ANY high in the 80s is at least red tier territory (11-20°F above average) and I wouldn't be surprised if we use the pink tier (21+°F above average) for the first time in October

The expected forecast from 9/24-10/7:
9/24: 🌧️ 68/60 (66%)
9/25: ⛈️ 73/62 (90%)
9/26: ⛅ 80/54
9/27: ⛅ 79/56
9/28: ⛅ 82/52
9/29: ⛅ 78/51
9/30: ⛅ 74/46
10/1: 🌤️ 69/41
10/2: ⛅ 68/42
10/3: ⛅ 72/44
10/4: ⛅ 72/47
10/5: ⛅ 74/48
10/6: ⛅ 73/45
10/7: 🌥️ 71/46 *By October 7th, any reading in the 70s is at least orange tier territory, and by October 20th, ANY reading in the 70s is at least red tier territory, and by that date, any reading in the 80s+ would be pink tier territory. Think it can't be 80+ degrees that late in the year? Maybe you should check out the fact that it hit 82 on Oct 28, 2023, it hit 86 on Oct 21, 2024, it hit 82 on Oct 22, 2024, it hit 81 on HALLOWEEN in 2024 and the day after (Oct 31 & Nov 1, 2024 were BOTH 81 degree days!) and 83 on Nov 6, 2024! Maybe that will change your mind. The red and pink tier is becoming the new normal, and that is FRIGHTENING!

This forecast is honestly insane. It seems like at MOST, the temps want to fall to the upper 60s, which for a forecast during the late Sep/early Oct timeframe, is rather problematic. This looks like a forecast for Aug 24-Sep 6 or something like that, a month prior! Seasonal lag is basically a month at this point, as in October is the new September, September is a summer month now basically, and November is the new October, and, dare I say it, December is the new November, and January is the new December! Considering that Xmas has struggled to have snow lately but it's ALWAYS started in January, this honestly makes sense. This is NOT good!

Here's the main pic and fall foliage pics taken today, 9/23/25:






Early morning, lots of fog, no seeing the mountain! At least not yet anyways!






















































The fall vibe is starting, but it's still quite early!
✨🍁☁️🏞️


Leaves in the water! This water isn't safe for swimming anyways because it's contaminated by cyanobacteria and is treated in the peak of summer!


Anyways, that's really it for today. See you tomorrow, and it looks to be cooler and MUCH rainier!

Fall Foliage With TR27: Back To Normal (09.08.25)

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)...
