When will you see fall leaves where you live? There’s a card for that

If you’ve ever wondered when is the best time to see the leaves turn beautiful shades of yellow, orange and red, there’s now a map to show you.

A map from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation shows people the status of fall foliage in the state.

The map is updated weekly and informs users about the status of fall colors in a specific region using a color-coded legend.

The legend ranges from light blue, meaning “no change in foliage,” to maroon, meaning “foliage past the peak.”

According to the map, on October 3, Boston’s leaves are yellowish or in the middle of the leaves. It’s not until October 27th that the city’s leaves reach their peak. The majority of leaves across the state will also not reach their peak by then.

But in some areas in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden counties, leaves are already starting to appear near the top of the foliage.

These areas of western Massachusetts are expected to peak late next week, according to the map’s data.

When most of the commonwealth reaches the peak of its foliage, some parts of Western Massachusetts will already have leaves that have reached their peak.

But don’t wait to go looking for leaves. The fall foliage season will be over on November 3rd.
