Northern Michigan's Fall 2021 Climatology

A warm Fall for northern Michigan in 2021, with all sites ranking in the top 10 warmest Falls on record.


  • All climate sites ranked in the top 10 warmest Falls on record.
  • This can be attributed to all climate sites seeing the 4th warmest to warmest Octobers on record with all sites reaching 7° - 9° above normal.
  • Another thing to note would be that all sites did record below normal precipitation for the Fall season. This is due to most sites recording near normal to below normal readings for each of the months of the meteorological Fall season.
