What to Expect on Labor Day

Labor Day in early September marks the unofficial end of summer, though temperatures often don't reflect it. Most of the country still sees summer-like warmth, with highs in the 80s common even in northern cities. However, the first hints of fall can appear in the Northern Plains and New England.

Despite being the end of summer, Labor Day temperatures have actually trended warmer over the past 50 years in most US cities.
