When will it start to cool down in MS? Farmers' Almanac gives fall weather forecast
We're in the dog days of summer with temperatures topping 100 in some parts of Mississippi. Ready for colder weather? You've got a while to wait before temperatures really start to cool down into what the South calls fall. Be ready for more heat, followed by storms and rain as we edge closer to winter. The Farmers' Almanac calls for some wet weather and some storms later in the season, but early autumn looks dry and warm. According to the Farmer's Almanac, fall will start on Sept. 22 with the autumnal, or vernal, equinox. Meteorological autumn, however, uses Sept. 1 as the start of the season. Either way, we won't get a big break from the warmer temperatures until around October, when the daily high finally drops to around 77°F and the lows are around 53°F, per historic data from According to the "Flirty, Flurry Fall" forecast, the South can expect lingering warmth while northern states could get early cold fronts. The Southeast could see Labor Day weekend thunderstorms, and the Atlantic seaboard could face a hurricane threat in September. The Southeast should have nice weather in October, but a lot of the country could face storms in the middle of the month. The region is expected to have some rain in November, and the Thanksgiving forecast calls for most places to have clearer skies for the holiday. Every year, daylight saving starts on the second Sunday in March and runs through fall. The return to standard time, or "fall back," is set for Sunday, Nov. 2. "Spring forward" was on Sunday, March 9, 2025. After losing an hour of sleep early in the year, people get a later sunrise and sunset until autumn. President Donald Trump has weighed in on daylight saving several times, saying the U.S. should stop changing the clocks twice a year and seems to favor adopting the daylight saving shift permanently. There are currently two bills suggesting making the change to daylight saving permanent, meaning there would be no "fall back." Both Senate Bill 29 and House Resolution 139 are called the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025. A move to only use daylight saving time in 1974 failed after parents were worried about kids going to school before dawn and risking more vehicle accidents. What are Ember Days? Folklore, Old Farmer's Almanac say they could predict weather for the next season According to the Farmer's Almanac, the astronomical start dates for the seasons are: Spring: March 20 - vernal equinox. Summer: June 20 - summer solstice. Fall: Sept. 22 - autumnal equinox. Winter: Dec. 21 - winter solstice. The shortest day with the longest night will be on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025, in Mississippi.

Today in Chicago History: Porch collapse in Lincoln Park kills 13, injures more than 50 young people
Here's a look back at what happened in the Chicago area on June 29, according to the Tribune's archives. Is an important event missing from this date? Email us. Weather records (from the National Weather Service, Chicago) High temperature: 97 degrees (1954) Low temperature: 48 degrees (1989) Precipitation: 2.81 inches (1933) Snowfall: Trace (1920) 1889: Annexation caused Chicago to gain 131 acres and more than 220,000 residents, making it the second-largest city in the United States. With a new total of 1.1 million residents, it ranked just behind New York in population. Immigrants drove population growth in the Chicago area and Cook County last year, latest census figures show The Chicago-Naperville-Elgin metropolitan area is the third-largest and Cook County is the second-largest in the country. 1996: Soldier Field sweltered as a crowd of 69,000 men sang and shouted during the Promise Keepers' first-ever event in Chicago. 2003: During a balcony porch party at an apartment building at 713 W. Wrightwood Ave. in Lincoln Park, a third-floor porch holding partygoers gave way, caving onto the second-floor porch below and barreling down to the ground floor. Thirteen people died and more than 50 were injured at the site just steps away from DePaul University. Although the city at first blamed overcrowding for the incident, it later charged that the porch on the Wrightwood building was bigger than code allowed and constructed improperly and without permits. Building inspectors, however, never cited those violations before the collapse. In the aftermath of the collapse, victims' families and injured survivors filed lawsuits against the property owner, manager, porch contractor and the city, the last of which a state appellate court ruled could not be held liable. The suits were ultimately settled with the property's insurance companies for a total of $16.6 million. The city also fined the property owner $108,000 and the porch contractor $25,000. It clarified and strengthened the building code and launched inspection sweeps. Officials created a 311 service request code for porch complaints and enacted a policy to inspect porches year-round rather than seasonally. 2006: Northwestern University coach Randy Walker died at 52 of a heart attack. He was at home in Wilmette at about 10 p.m. when he felt chest pains. He was rushed to Evanston Hospital but could not be revived. Pat Fitzgerald was named head coach on July 7, 2006.
