The leaves on the mulberry trees are turning yellow and falling. They are always the first to fall, but this year they seem a little early. Haven't had a rain in 3 weeks, so it that might be the reason.

Crepe Myrtles and weeping willows starting to brown up and drop leaves in our area. Quite a bit.
Generally don’t see this till the second or third week in September.
Also seeing some leaf browning on my hickory trees.
You guys seeing anything similar in your areas ? You're talking Florida? Don't you all have the latest falls in the country, no winter, followed by early spring? The funny thing you brought it up. Earlier this afternoon, we got a heavy rain. Cooled down just enough to get comfortable again. I walked a while and thanked the good Lord for the perfect weather that reminded me of a vacation in Florida. I kid you not. However, I would imagine August is air conditioner, stay indoors time. Did you get any cicadas? If it's the 17 year variety, they bore holes in branches damaging lots of young trees. Louisiana, HC. We do have the cicadas but that’s every year. I put up some winter bee houses and they’re already full of larvae . Ok That's still far south. I just saw the holes in the ground today, which I think are the 3 year variety . It goes annual, three years and then 17 in the range the particular varieties live. They prefer certain tree species, but kill branches that will cause some leaf drop. Since you know bees, that really is interesting how biology is often a better indicator than "science", is global warming.

Its been a hot, wet summer here in North Alabama. I am seeing the leaves on the poplars and ornamental cherries turning yellow right now.

Yep. Many trees are turning a faint yellow. It is the earliest that I can remember. Same up here in SWVA. Have an apple tree right out the back door and the leaves are yellow/brown, at least the ones still on it. Usually only the locusts have turned by now.

The walnuts are right on time as usual here in northern Misery. They appear green from a distance but the ground is getting covered by yellowing and brown leaves. This tree loses all leaves before most other trees even show color. My mulberry trees don't yellow very early here. We are close enough to KC MO to be only a little later then them for greenup in the spring. They have two river valleys come together at the river bend of the Missouri River and the blue comes in a few miles from that. So they have a micro climate approximating that closer to Arkansas. Be Well, RZ.

The fall out here is absolutely spectacular. Bring it...! I generally make a trip to Durango each fall and make the Hwy 550 loop around and back via Silverton, Ouray, Ridgeway, Dove Creek, Cortez and back to Durango. Beautiful drive. The Animas Valley is a sight from elevation. You stop at Adobe milling in Dove Creek and pick up Anasazi Beans?? Hadn’t heard of it but will do. Much appreciate it.

Haven't had a rain in 3 weeks, so it that might be the reason. I have 2 persimmon trees along the creek on the west side that are loaded and bending their branches with fruit and those leaves are starting to curl and brown up a bit. Granny Smith apple tree curling too. My peach trees are still green. Pears are browning and got a bazillion on the ground. The deer have had a few good meals off of them really liking the ones that I hit with the mower. The ones I hit yesterday are all gone this morning.

My pumpkins already turned orange.
Maples are shedding a few leaves but not really turning.
But you can see the washed out look on a lot of stuff. The vibrant greens are fading out .

We’ve had a wetter than normal summer so far and haven’t had really hot temps except for the last week or two with only one day at 95 that I remember.
Normally our hummingbirds don’t start fighting and chasing until around mid-August but they started about three weeks to a month ago.
It seems to me that our weather really turns after a hurricane in the Gulf that gets some north winds going.

In recent correspondence one of my German colleagues wrote:
"What's the weather like in Texas right now? Do you at least have something like a summer? In Germany it really is a catastrophe - a few nice days, a lot of rain and not particularly warm."
In light of the typical German's blind acceptance of the global warming religion I find it quite interesting.
Here in North Texas I am not seeing signs of an early Fall yet, but I have noted the rather mild summer. We usually have around 20 days (maybe more, that's my rough guess) a year that we see 100 degrees F, but I'm not sure we've seen even half that many this year.
Don't be the darkness.

Hot, humid and dry in Iowa. If things don't change and soon, we won't be feeding anyone this year.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

What's up elvis the pelvis man???🥴🤔😄 Noticed you have put him up on various post. Being equated to the loss of american values in his public suggestive sexuality is what I get from some of the threads you have posted him on. The start of moral decline???? Just taking a SWAG....

The alarmists quit using the term "global warming" because it didn't cover all the bases. The proper term has now become "climate change" so everything can be accounted for. - too hot... climate change - too cold... climate change - too wet... climate change - too dry... climate change - too many twisters... climate change - no twisters... climate change - too many hurricanes... climate change - no hurricanes... climate change - early duck/geese migration... climate change - late duck/geese migration... climate change Get the picture? The weather patterns have been changing for eons..... the Sahara were once a lush grasslands.
