I live in Ohio in the US and it seems like some of the trees around here have started turning colors way earlier than normal. Is it from the wildfires? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

    In Texas they’re just dying. No rain in over 60 days where I’m at, plus triple digit records being set weekly.

    I have a maple in my front yard that the leaves started turning brown in early July.

    It seems weird, but I think getting hit by a truck mad it forget what month it was.

      Getting hit by a truck might have made it forget to keep living. Brown leaves don’t sound like a good sign.

    Ohioan here, I agree. There’s some starting to turn at the tops and it feels like it’s at least 6 weeks early.

    Not in Seattle where I live, though some dandelions are already releasing their fuzz, spiders are already spinning webs on everything outdoors and I had to wear a mask one night to prevent inhaling the still lingering tree-cum of some species that wasn’t common in the suburb I grew up in (or my nose would’ve run and itched all night)
