Almanac Forecasts California

The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts a warm, dry fall and winter for California in 2025, unlike other U.S. regions.
Northern California may see slightly wetter conditions, while southern areas are expected to be cooler.
The Almanac notes below-average rainfall across much of the U.S., except in the High Plains and Pacific Northwest.
It uses solar science, climatology, and meteorology for predictions, though accuracy may vary.
Many Californians prefer modern meteorology for detailed weather forecasts despite the Almanac's historical appeal.
