As pumpkin lattes and sweaters begin to replace slushies and shorts, the weather is doing its part to prepare for the first day of fall.
The fall season officially starts on Sunday, September 22, and ends on Saturday, December 21. However, fall-themed items are already decorating stores, sparking our imagination of cozy socks and comfy blankets.
We will shed the three-digit temperatures this week as we kick off with a high of 92 and a low of 71 on Monday. Tuesday will have a high of 91 and a low of 72. On Wednesday, temperatures will rise with a high of 96 and a low of 76, according to The Weather Channel. Moving towards the end of the week, Thursday through Saturday will bring even warmer weather with a high of 97 and nighttime temperatures in the upper 70s. However, Sunday will be slightly cooler, with a high of 94 and a low of 73.
The likelihood of precipitation will be low, but it will increase to 9% on Saturday. The most promising opportunity for rainfall seems to occur next week, with the likelihood gradually increasing to 32% by Friday, September 27.
September is notorious for increasing allergy symptoms, as many may already be experiencing. Dallas experiences a greater number of days with “high” and “very high” risk levels for tree pollen overall than any other of the 100 most populated regions in the United States, according to a recent study conducted by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AFFA), as detailed in The Dallas Express.
According to AAFA, individuals are advised to remove their shoes, clean their pets after outdoor activities, and shower before going to bed to avoid pollen in their bedding.
But don’t let seasonal allergies prevent you from participating in the events that accompany cooler weather.
As fall tickles your nose, plenty of festivities may tickle your fancy. Immerse yourself in the season at events such as the Addison Oktoberfest, Plano Balloon Festival, State Fair of Texas, Cottonwood Art Festival, Ennis Autumn Daze, and the Dallas Brew Festival. Look here for all the details about these events, as previously reported by DX.
