Seeing more just in the last two days. So this is from today.
Fall Foliage, In Central New Hampshire, Sept. 13 — Not That Much.

I was expecting MORE. We have had some very cold nights — into the low 40sF. That is said to be the trigger for the colors changing. Cold nights.
I think the week or so of cold nights we had, around last week, were atypical.
I saw the first fall colors of 2024 exactly a month ago. So it is not unreasonable to have expected more color.
I did see a map, online, that said peak for central NH was mid-Oct. I am kind of surprised.
I will, of course, as I do every year, keep you updated & posted.

August 13, 2024. Same tree as in 2022!
2023 first fall color — August 4!
That was early.
2022 first fall color — August 22.
NOT as early as last year (i.e., 2023) when I saw first color on August 4.
Kind of mid-August.
Temps fell into the mid-50s (F) last night. We have had 3 to 4 cool nights. So, it is time. It is due.
I will, as of now, be on the lookout and get some pictures.
Fall is here. Summer, alas, is HISTORY.

Yes, our 2023 fall foliage is peaking. Today’s rain will knock down quite a few leaves.
This was my view, this afternoon, from my desk, in my office, as I was proofing my latest book. Proofing is very stressful for I. So, this was a nice break.

Still early days. I did see an ‘official’ forecast predicting that our foliage here, i.e., Central New Hampshire, will not peak for another 2 weeks. Based on what I am seeing that could even be optimistic.
The stretch of road shown in the top picture is usually the first to turn color. Today it was mainly green.
I will, of course, as of today be keeping an even closer eye. Just wanted to share this with you.
More 2023 Foliage Color In Central New Hampshire — A Tad Early Given It Isn’t Even Mid-August.

I saw the FIRST Fall Colors of 2023 a few days ago — on August 4th.
The above montage of 4 photos is from August 8, 2023.
We have had about a week of COLD nights, i.e., temps. falling into the 50s. Plus we have also had a fair amount of rain.
Those cold nights will do it. A tad early. But this sure has been a CRAZY Summer. Extreme heat, huge amount of rain & now cold nights early on in August.

Last year’s first fall color — but 18 days LATER.
Just into August — August 4. Caught me off-guard. I was not expecting this.
But, I should NOT have been surprised. If anything, IF I had given it any thought, I should have been looking for it. We had three nights, in a row, that were atypically cool — maybe even cold. I know, I had to wear my winter night gear & use two blankets (rather than the one). Yes, in my old age, I really feel the cold.
I know we can start getting foliage color, in central New Hampshire, in August. So this is not huge news per se. All I am willing to say is that it seems a tad early.

There was some speculation that we might not see too much color this year because of the summer drought. I think that is proving not to be the case. Lots of brilliant color around right now — & we are still in September. I think this will also be a good year for New Hampshire fall foliage. I will, of course, keep you posted.

New Hampshire’s FIRST 2022 Unmistakable Fall Foliage.

To be honest the colors have been out for a few days. I saw some definite color, at ‘The Castle‘, this Saturday. I was going to take a picture but was distracted.
I made sure I captured these this morning.
Nothing unusual about having fall color this late in August!
We can start seeing some color in mid-July — as we did last year (as proven by this photo).
Though we are in another heatwave the temps plummet at night — down to the 50Fs. That will kick in color. So, a heads up.
I will, of course, per my wont, keep you posted on New Hampshire’s Fall Foliage. That is my DUTY. SMILE.
