鈥淲ill climate change affect fall colours in our trees?聽 Yes and no!聽 The shortening of day length in September and October is what triggers leaves to change from green to gold, orange and eventually brown. Daylength, i.e., the number of hours of sunlight per day, depends on the angle of the Earth鈥檚 axis relative to the sun but not on climate.聽 However, the intensity of the hues depends partly on the weather. Warm sunny days and cool nights in late summer and early fall lead to bright yellows, vivid oranges, and burgundy reds in trees鈥� foliage.聽 But if climate change leads to more wet, cloudy weather, we may get drabber fall colours: faded yellows and dull browns.鈥澛�
