Can a publication first released in 1818 really predict the weather months or even years in advance?

In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we explore the history and surprising popularity of the Farmers’ Almanac, its claimed 80–85% forecasting accuracy, and the methods behind its long-range predictions. We also break down its fall 2026 forecast for Oklahoma, Texas, the Ohio Valley, Alaska, Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest, the Atlantic Corridor, and other parts of the United States.

How does an old-fashioned annual publication compete with satellites, computer models, and modern meteorologists? Why do so many farmers and ranchers still swear by it? And should you trust its predictions when planning crops, vacations, festivals, or outdoor events?

Tell us in the comments: Do you trust the Farmers’ Almanac more than your local weather forecast?
