A maple shedding leaves in the middle of summer is not turning to fall early. It is a stress response to high heat and dry soil, and the tree is cutting water loss the only way it can.
Deep, slow watering at the drip line helps. Heavy leaf drop paired with browning edges is worth a professional look.
