Warmer weather will blanket the province by Thanksgiving in early October, and clear skies are forecast by Halloween at the end of the month.
Come November, the periodical predicts cold, unsettled weather heading into winter.
The Old Farmer's Almanac studies sunspots, prevailing weather trends, and the atmosphere to predict weather patterns.
"We're looking at 'normals' or 'averages' over decades, not just how the weather compared to last year. For the 2024-2025 winter season, our forecasts are based on the latest period, 1991 through 2020," the Almanac's website states.
