Question of the Day

Which area of the United States has the most thunderstorm activity?

In the continental United States, that would be Florida, with an average of 80 to 90 thunderstorm-days per year. The region with the fewest thunderstorm-days is the Pacific Coast, averaging fewer than 10 a year.

Word of the Day

Sunrise/Sunset

The visible rising and setting of the Sun’s upper limb across the unobstructed horizon of an observer whose eyes are 15 feet above ground level.

The Old Farmer's Almanac cover

What is The Old Farmer's Almanac? For more than 225 years, we've been the go-to resource for everything under the Sun-including the Moon! We may be "old," but in fact we're new every year-and even every day.

Welcome to the Almanac's HQ! We're located in the tiny village of Dublin, New Hampshire, which is small-town America at its best-complete with Old Glory high atop her pole, a church steeple, the town hall-and New England weather!
