September warmth has pushed fall colors about 2 weeks later since 1970 Temperature records show September is one of the fastest warming months in Minnesota in the past 55 years. That’s pushing Minnesota’s fall color change about 2 weeks later than in the 1960s.

This number made me do a double take today.
September in Minnesota is now 6 degrees warmer on average than in 1970. 🌡️
And fall colors peak ~ 2 weeks later.
