We know the question on your mind, Lexingtonians — when’s it going to get cool? Thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center, we know what temperatures and precipitation trends to expect in our city for September, October, and November. While exact weather conditions typically can’t be predicted more than a week in advance, here’s a seasonal outlook to help you prepare for what fall will bring.

Reminder: Fall starts on Sunday, Sept. 22.

Temperature
Think warm. This fall, Lexington has a 40-50% chance of temperatures being higher than normal.

Standard September
Typically in Lexington, September’s temperatures fluctuate between an average low of 59° and an average high of 78.1°, so expect to see more of the same this year. Historically, September sees the least amount of rainfall of the year, which marks the perfect time to enjoy a meal outside before temperatures get cooler.
