September welcomes the beautiful fall season to Nebraska with a dazzling display of colors over the landscape. Temperatures drop steadily with each passing day as average highs register between the 75°F (23.9°C) to 80°F (26.7°C). The panhandle region cools faster and often has chilly nights in early fall. The precipitation reduces to record 2" (51mm) to 3" (76mm) as the daily sunshine lasts for 8 hours in the majority of the state. Fresh air, fresh fruit in the ripe apple orchards, and abundant pumpkin patches signify the time of festivities. The pleasant weather drives large crowds to festivals like the AppleJack in Nebraska City. The harvest season is in full swing with plenty of produce for locals, tourists, and more. Chances of spotting wildlife are high in the autumn with the availability of surplus food on the land. The leaves start to change color by mid-September in the majority of the state. Fall is a fantastic time to enjoy the cool weather amid changing leaves, and September is one of the best times to visit Nebraska.
