A Guide to Traditional Full Moon Names and Their Meanings

The 2024 Old Farmer’s Almanac is available everywhere, from sea to shining sea! With our official debut, we can unveil the complete 2023–2024 winter weather forecast. We’ll share the General Weather Report and Forecast for the U.S., all 18 regional summaries, and a look inside the new 2024 edition. September 21 is recognized as the annual International Day of Peace. Observances range from a moment of silence at noon to events such as peace walks, concerts, and volunteering in thecommunity. For Winter 2023-24, we see the El Niño phase peaking around December and previous El Niño winters for the UK normally deliver colder weather but also drier winters, we’ve also seen some rather severe cold spells during a El Niño phase in winter. Gardening by the Moon: Gardeningby the Moon is a traditional way to plant crops, relying on the Moon’s phase to inform plantingdates.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, there is a specific formula by which the outlet is able to make its long-range weather forecasts each year. We expect a wet winter with above-normal precipitation and snowfall for the Southeast (most of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia). The best chances for snow occur in late January and mid-February. We do not expect a white Christmas. September’sname comes from the Latin word septem, meaning “seven.” This month had originally been the seventh month of the early Romancalendar. SeptemberCalendarThose who swear by this ancient growing method say the water in both the ground and in plants are affected by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon, just like ocean tides are. Just as the tides are highest during the new and full phases of the Moon, this theory holds, seeds, too, will absorb the most water during these times. At the moment it is impossible to go into exact details, long range forecasting isn’t an exact science. However, as forecasters, we can access a wide range of climatological data including long range data and signals. The expected El Niño has emerged and should gradually strengthen into the winter. El Niño is a natural climate phenomenon marked by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. Typically, El Niño conditions result in wetter-than-average conditions from southern California to along the Gulf Coast and drier-than-average conditions in the Pacific Northwest. Will we see a “Super El Niño?” We also expect a warm Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation ( AMO) and a cool Pacific Decadal Oscillation ( PDO). Also significant are the equatorial stratospheric winds involved in the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, or QBO. Around upstate New York and western New England, it’s just over a 50-50 shot. Cleveland’s odds are 1 in 3 and Chicago only 2 in 5 for ChristmasDay. Overall, in the Desert Southwest region, we’re looking at a winter that’s cooler than normal. The coldest periods will be in late November, early and late December, and late January. Region 15: PACIFIC NORTHWEST

SWEATER WEATHER: Winter in Southern British Columbia will be remembered for bouts of bone-chilling cold. Keep the fireplace going and hot cocoa at the ready! Snow and rainfall in the area will be near- or above normal for theseason. Northern Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Michigan, and Wisconsin can practically guarantee a blanket of snow on Christmas Day since snow begins falling earlier in the month and these northern areas have freezing temperatures to avoid snow melt. In Minneapolis, it’s an 80% chance. Over northern Michigan and especially the Upper Peninsula, as well as northern Minnesota, 3 out of every 4 years on average feature a white Christmas. Even greater odds exist over northern NorthDakota.
