My red maples aren't very yellow/red this year. Kinda turning into a dirty burgundy color and falling off.

Also I was promised some El Niño rain shenanigans. The dust is outrageous and ponds have dried up again.

Yeah virtually 0” rain through the end of every model run. I’m running my drip irrigation every day on these new green giants I planted. I’ll drown them before I let them dry out

I've had a bumper crop of these big invasive spiders that have taken over parts of Ga. But....they've all gone underground when it turned colder. Looks like the 40's scare them off. I'm curious to see what a winter thaw might do for them. I'm fine with waiting until another winter. I'd love a wall to wall cold winter. Still, if it isn't a warm Xmas then it will be the recharging of the cold air in Jan.

I've still go a few but most have gone with all of the wind. I don't really start to notice them until July most years.

44 and clear skies at my house. Just up the road, at the official recording station, KATL, it's 56. That's part of the reason night time average temps are up.

Now if place your sensor over your driveway, park your cars next to it while running, and then get a station low quality enough to be so affected by sunlight that it changes multiple degrees in five minute segments, you could be as accurate as KATL.

Leaves are really starting to pop out down here now. We usually peak Halloween through first week Novemeber. It's not to far off the timeclock. was delayed but happening at a more rapid pace due to drought/ low DP's and several scattered frost away from Urban heat islands

This has been the slowest leaf change i can recall, unless my is failing but im not alone. Everyone ive talked to has been wondering what is up with it. I kid you not a few days ago there was literally no color anywhere. On a walk i was amazed because it was one of those cool crisp clear days and it looked more like april with green everywhere and clear deep blue sky. But with the lower sun angle, it was just weird. Only now do I see the start of it but its very isolated

It's starting to turn fast in my area. My hickories are turning orange pretty quick and the oaks are turning from the top down. Still plenty of green but it is kicking into gear.

I posted NC thread. We will peak this weekend into early next week. Right on schedule. Came on fast. It usually ends fast to. First windy day/ rain they strip off quick. Save the oaks that shed all winter littering yard after you clean it everytime.
 
I ended up with 4.3” of rainfall this month, which is slightly above normal. But I’ve gotten none since Oct 11th, which was from a feeder band with thunderstorms that woke me ~7AM from the influence of Isaias’ remnants and which was just ahead of a cold front. I got a total of 1.6” from Isaias Oct 9-11th.

The wx especially early this week and last week with comfy dewpoints and sunshine was great for outdoor activities.

Due to the combo of persistent breezy NE winds most of this week and the full moon early this week, there was coastal flooding near times of high tide Oct 25th-29th despite sunny wx (“King Tides”).

2 months left in the year and we've barely received half our annual average precipitation. An hour east of here is even worse:
