Time to say goodbye to Summer.
Welcome to the season of Fall/Autumn,
tomorrow - Sept. 23rd, 2014
It is the summer’s great last heat,
It is the fall’s first chill: They meet.
–Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt (1836–1919)
Fall begins on September 22, at 10:29 P.M. (ET).
Here at the Almanac, we’ve had a warm end of summer. “Autumn has
caught us in our summer wear,” as poet Philip Larkin says. Do you feel
fall in the air?
The autumnal equinox is defined as the point at which the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator from north to south.
The word equinox in Latin means “equal night.” Daytime and nighttime are of same length. From here on out, the daylight hours start to shorten. Check your local sunrise/sunset times.
Also, temperatures will begin to drop. One definition of fall is
“nights of below-freezing temperatures combined with days of
temperatures below 70 degrees Fahrenheit.” Get the fall and winter weather predictions in The 2015 Almanac here.
Autumn days come and go quickly—enjoy!
