"Early Pumpkin Spice Season: Dunkin', Starbucks, and More Release Dates Revealed"

As climate change leads to longer summers, major companies like Starbucks and Dunkin' are releasing their pumpkin spice treats earlier and earlier, with Dunkin' launching its fall menu on August 16th this year. However, if you're waiting for fall weather to enjoy your pumpkin spice beverage, you may have to wait a while. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts warmer-than-normal temperatures for September, October, and November in the United States. Additionally, the onset of changing leaves is typically delayed by a warmer summer. So, if you prefer to pair your fall drinks with cooler temperatures and changing foliage, you may miss out on the pumpkin spice season.
