Impact of Drought on Leaf-Peeping Season
This year's leaf-peeping season has been affected by drought in areas like the Rockies, but some regions still display brilliant colors.
Leaf-peeping is an annual tradition in New England, the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
According to
Patrick Whittle and Michael Casey | AP, the Northeast and other areas have seen the arrival of leaf-peeping season, but drought has muted the autumn colors, causing leaves to fall earlier than usual.
- Drought affects the breakdown of chlorophyll in leaves, leading to browning and early falling.
- Over 40% of the country was in a drought in early October, more than twice the average, as stated by
Brad Rippey, a U.S.
expert.
