Burlington, VT – Vermont residents can expect an extended stretch of sunshine to begin the week, offering near-perfect conditions for outdoor activities and fall foliage viewing.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, skies will remain mostly clear through at least Wednesday, October 1. While some clouds may drift into central and southern parts of the state late Monday into Tuesday, the majority of Vermont will experience bright, sunny weather with minimal sky cover percentages.
This extended dry spell follows several weeks of stable weather and is expected to continue providing crisp, clear days during the heart of the leaf-peeping season. Forecast models show sky cover remaining below 20% across much of the Champlain Valley, Northeast Kingdom, and surrounding regions. Areas such as Rutland and Springfield may see brief increases in cloud cover Monday night, but no widespread rain is expected.
The favorable weather comes at a prime time for Vermont’s annual influx of foliage tourists. With peak colors emerging in the Green Mountains and northern counties, visitors and locals alike will have excellent opportunities for hiking, scenic drives, and photography under sunny skies.
Travelers should be aware that while conditions will remain pleasant, cooler evenings are expected, so layering is recommended for those planning longer outdoor outings.
This sunny streak is forecast to last through the middle of the week, with updates to follow if conditions shift later in the week.
