September Weather in East Texas: A Transitional Time and Leaf Raking

9/18/2024 (Permalink)

Yay, it's cooler autumn weather, but now I am on leaf-raking duty!

September in East Texas brings football, a mix of summer's lingering heat, and the first hints of fall. Early in the month, temperatures often remain in the upper 80s and low 90s, keeping that familiar summer humidity alive. However, as the month progresses, we start to see cooler mornings and evenings, with temperatures gradually dipping into the 60s and 70s, offering a much-needed break from the sweltering summer.

East Texas can also experience scattered thunderstorms during September as summer storms roll through, keeping the area lush and green. These rain showers preview the changing season, making it an ideal time to enjoy outdoor activities, whether a hike through the piney woods or a weekend barbecue.

As we inch closer to fall, September becomes a transition month—still warm but with cooler days on the horizon, signaling that autumn is just around the corner and the leaves are falling!

Ah, the dreaded leaf raking! As beautiful as autumn can be, those vibrant oranges, red, and yellow leaves falling everywhere also signal the start of the annual leaf battle in the yard. So get ready and have fun! :-)
