Temps Heating Up Again Toward Record Levels In New Canaan

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. — It will be hot again on Wednesday across Fairfield County, as temperatures soar to an unseasonable 80 degrees, flirting with the record high for Oct. 19, according to the National Weather Service.   

Some trees, like the ones to the left of the green in Redding Center, are hitting their color peaks and dropping their leaves before others have begun to turn.
