I meant to do my work today—
But a brown bird sang in the apple-tree
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.

"How do we make our weather predictions so far in advance?" We answer this popular reader question:
Our long-range formula isn't simply based on meteorology (aka short-range weather), but also considers sunspot activity, ocean temperatures and weather patterns, and other factors. The forecasts in the new 2023 Old Farmer's Almanac are also based on a new, updated set of climate normals!
