I ran across this image on Facebook from a meteorologist in my home state of Maryland, marking peak days across the state. Looks like we are hitting the prime "leaf peeping" days as the fall foliage color changes abound.
Marylanders, you can get the Fall Foliage Report week-by-week here.
If you are like me and can't get enough of the beauty of the changing leaves, here are some resources to check out:- My own GTG's "Mapping Out Your Quest for Fall Foliage" from last year -- Here there are 2 links to data visualization websites to track nationwide how the leaves look this year on given dates. You can also glean some science along the way.
- GTG's "Fall Foliage 2021" -- Here you can find a link to the Farmer's Almanac and a state-by-state list of when peak colors have peaked, or soon will.
- If you are wondering how climate change affects the leaves, check out this PBS article from September 2023 entitled "How Climate Change is Making Fall Foliage Less Colorful.
