🍂 Here’s how fall will feel
We know the question on your mind, Hoosiers — when’s it going to get cool again?

Thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, we know what temperatures and precipitation trends to expect in our city for September, October, and November.

While exact weather conditions typically can’t be predicted more than a week in advance, here’s a seasonal outlook to help you prepare for what fall will bring.

Reminder: The first day of fall is on Saturday, Sept. 23.

🌡️ Temperature

Think average. This fall, Indy has an equal chance of temperatures being higher than normal or lower than normal. The Climate Prediction Center also says a moderate El Niño is likely for this fall — which is when warmer than normal temperatures are in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. So, we’ll see how this pans out for central Indiana.

🌨️ Precipitation

Expect average precipitation. Indy has an equal chance of seeing above or below normal rainfall amounts this fall.

☀️ Drought

Drought conditions are expected to likely develop for much of central Indiana this season.

September

September typically brings a welcoming transition from the heat of summer to the cool of autumn in Indy. While temperatures historically remain high at about 75.9°F, there’s a decrease towards the end of the month.

You’ll also notice the city gets darker earlier as the days shorten, bringing a clear change in pace from the lingering summer daylight — a good reminder to start cozying up indoors or gathering around a bonfire.

From the editor
Although I’m a true fall girly (my birthday is in October), believe it or not, I’m not one of those girls who gets their fall decor and Pumpkin Spice Lattes on Sept. 1. I need it to actually feel like fall for me to be in true fall mode.

I haven’t even had my first fall beverage of the season yet — but I’m eyeing the fall drink menu at Parlor Doughnuts. Have you already had a fall drink around the city? Let me know so I can add it to my list for an upcoming newsletter.
