This year, fall will officially begin on Monday, Sept. 22, which marks the arrival of the vernal equinox. As for fall weather, The Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting a warmer-than-normal autumn this year for many regions of the U.S. This autumn is expected to be a season of contrasts, with early chills in the North to warmth hanging around in the South and stormy conditions to tranquil skies. Fall 2025 weather predictions for Louisiana by The Old Farmer's Almanac For the deep South, which includes Louisiana, September and October are predicted to be warmer than normal, with below-normal rainfall in the north and near-normal amounts in the South, says The Old Farmer's Almanac. During September in the deep South, the average temperature is expected to be around 79 degrees Fahrenheit, which is two degrees above normal, with about 3.5 inches of rain, which is one inch below normal, says The Olds Farmer's Almanac. The early portion of September is forecasted to be hot and sunny, followed by scattered thunderstorms during the middle of the month, with the month ending in cooler temperatures and sunshine. The early and late portions of October are predicted to be warm and sunny, with the middle of the month seeing some storms and showers. During October, the average temperature is expected to be around 65 degrees Fahrenheit, which is one degree below normal, and rainfall amounts will be about 2.5 inches, with conditions drier north and wetter south, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.

When is the next full 'buck moon'? What to know about celestial events in July
There are 12 full moons in 2025, and July will bring one that's called the 'Buck Moon.' A full moon occurs — simply put — when the Earth falls between the sun and the moon, which results in the visible portion of the moon being lit by the sun. If you're a regular sky gazer, keeping track of celestial movements, or just curious this month, here is what you need to know about upcoming lunar activity and other planetary sightings in July. The next Buck Moon will arrive on Thursday, July 10, and is expected to be at peak illumination at 4:37 p.m. Eastern time, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. Derived from Indigenous American, European and colonial American influences, moon names signify a connection to the natural world. In July, as part of a yearly renewal process, male deer grow new antlers at peak capacity after having shed the old horns at the end of the rutting season — hence lending the name Buck Moon. Some other names for the July full moon are Thunder Moon, due to the thunderstorms, and Halfway Summer Moon. This moon is also called Berry Moon, Salmon Moon and Feather Moulting Moon. Middletown residents and others in the mid-Hudson Valley can spot the rise of the moon above the horizon at 8:58 p.m. by looking in the southeast direction. The moon will set at 4:50 a.m., southwestward. If you want to see surface details, you will need binoculars or a telescope. You can also use a digital camera.

If you are interested in locating other planets and constellations in the sky in July, here's what NASA recommends: Jupiter is expected in the second half of the month in the east during the hour before dawn — positioned low in the sky, rising higher each day. Mars is expected to appear all month in the west for a couple of hours, starting at the end of the twilight period — positioned approximately 20 degrees over the horizon line. Mercury makes a brief appearance in the first week of July in the western skies after dusk for up to 45 minutes — positioned 10 degrees above the horizon line or lower. Saturn will be visible all month at midnight — positioned rising high in the southern sky by sunrise. Venus will rise all month in early morning in the east in the hours before dawn. Aquila Constellation, the eagle-shaped cluster of stars, will appear all of July in the east in the first half of the night, anchored by its brightest star, Altair.

July Has 9 Major Astronomical Events Including Meteor Showers and a Planet Parade—and the First Starts Tonight
July 3-4: Mercury at greatest eastern elongationJuly 10: Full buck moonJuly 16: Moon, Saturn, and Neptune trifectaJuly 19-20: Pre-dawn planet paradeJuly 20: Crescent moon covers PleiadesJuly 22: A Venus-moon-Jupiter pyramidJuly 28: Moon joins MarsJuly 29-30: Southern Delta Aquariid meteor shower peaksJuly 30-31: Planet ParadeWith warm weather and relaxed schedules, summer stargazing just hits differently, especially with July's lineup of dazzling space sights. We have planet parades, moon-planet meetups, and meteor showers producing interstellar fireworks. Plus July is one of the best months to admire our home galaxy, the Milky Way. It's visible much of the night from a dark-sky destination, be it a national park or stargazing hotel. If admiring the heavens is on your summer bucket list, you're in luck. Here's everything to watch for in July's night sky. Mercury is often difficult to spot since it hangs close to the sun, but its visibility improves a few times each year, including this month. On the evenings of July 3-4, Mercury will reach its eastern elongation—its apparent farthest separation from the sun—in the evening for U.S. sky-watchers. Find it above the western horizon soon after sunset, and don't miss orange-tinged Mars just above it. Admire July's bright lunar orb, known as the full buck moon, on July 10. The moon hits peak illumination at 4:37 p.m. ET, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. It won't be visible to U.S. stargazers at this time, but you can catch it at its most luminous and dramatic when it rises the evenings of July 9 and 10. Watch the waning gibbous moon, Saturn, and Neptune meet in the night sky around midnight on July 16. The trio will travel above the eastern horizon and high into the sky throughout the night, with Venus and Jupiter joining soon before sunrise. While the moon and Saturn will be visible to the naked eye, Neptune requires a telescope. Stargazers will be treated with an eye-popping planet parade roughly an hour before sunrise on July 19 and 20. Jupiter, Venus, the crescent moon, and Saturn will be visible to the naked eye, with Neptune (adjacent to Saturn) and Uranus (near Venus) visible via telescope. Watch the lineup in the east and southeast sky, and look for clear eastern vistas since Jupiter won't travel far above the horizon. The crescent moon will appear to gobble up the Pleiades star cluster in the pre-dawn hours of July 20. The moon will cross over several of the cluster's naked-eye-visible stars between around 4 a.m. local time and sunrise. Watch the marvel unfold halfway above the eastern horizon. The moon-planet magic continues on the morning of July 22, when Venus, Jupiter, and the sliver of a crescent moon form a pyramid above the eastern horizon for roughly an hour before sunrise. Spot the crescent moon and Mars hanging above the western horizon for roughly two hours after sunset on July 28. The duo will be close enough to share a field of view in stargazing binoculars, according to stargazing app Sky Safari. The Southern Delta Aquariid meteor shower runs from around July 18 to Aug. 12, according to NASA. Its July 29-30 peak could produce around seven to eight meteors per hour beneath dark skies. This spectacle is best viewed in the southern hemisphere sky-watching spots. That said, northern hemisphere stargazers may catch a few shooting stars above the southern horizon during the shower's peak. Use Saturn, located just above Aquarius, as a navigational guide. And since the Perseids begin this month, too, you could catch a few meteors above the eastern horizon. The pre-dawn planet parade will get even dreamier as the month rolls on, particularly around July 30 and 31, when Jupiter moves away from the sun. You can see the upward arc of Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune from the east to the southern sky in the early morning hours of July 30 and 31. If you miss it, don't fret: This is merely an appetizer for what's to come with planetary alignments in August. Read the original article on Travel & Leisure
