The Old Farmer's Almanac has announced its predictions for spring weather this year, forecasting warmer than normal temperatures and increased rainfall across most of the U.S.—with a few regional exceptions.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it’s the oldest almanac in the country, and has predicted the upcoming year’s weather, among other things, since 1792. A new edition comes out every year in early September, according to its website.

The Old Farmer's Almanac, which has been in business since 1792, recently released its spring weather forecast. The outlook? "Warmer-than-normal temperatures for most of the country, with a few exceptions: southern and central California, Desert Southwest, southern Florida, and western Ohio Valley, where it will be near to below normal."

Warmer temperatures are ahead this spring - of course. But a milder, soggier than average spring is predicted in parts of the Empire state by several agencies and businesses, including the Old Farmer's Almanac.
