Question
I have noticed that the cicadas have started singing early this year. What is the relationship between the cicadas’ singing and our weather?
Answer
Weather folklore says that cicadas start singing six weeks before a frost — so it looks as though you may be seeing an earlier than usual frost this year. The bright side is that folklore also says that the singing of cicadas heralds warm, dry days ahead. We recommend enjoying those warm, dry days while you can!
