LindaKE Posted August 14, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I've read that the summer weather, e.g. rainfall, determines the timing and color of fall foliage. Is it too early for you experienced residents to make an educated guess of what this fall's colors will be like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 14, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Check this website http://www.maine.gov/doc/foliage/ We've had so much rain this year that I would have thought that it would be a disappointing fall ... but I guess I'm wrong ... although I am still waiting for summer to show up, not really ready to think about fall!!! We do have a fungus on some of the maple trees in town and they are turning brown and falling ... it won't hurt the trees in the long run. Hope we have a long wonderful fall ... for all the leaf peepers. Enjoy your visit. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaKE Posted August 14, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Do the numbers on the map signify which area will turn first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 14, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Do the numbers on the map signify which area will turn first? No they don't - they will turn faster in the north (known as "The County") - which is basically #7. There is usually a few weeks difference between the southern part of Maine then the Northern area.

SailBadtheSinner Posted August 14, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you want to see how the average foliage changes in New England, there is an interactive map here http://www.yankeefoliage.com/peakmap/ that can help you get a better understanding of the progression of peak foliage change.
