About Autumn

Autumn season, also known as Fall in the United States, indicates the transition of temperate seasons from summer into winter where the temperatures will gradually decrease and the arrival of night becomes earlier. According to the definition by Meteorologists, Autumn is normally defined in the Northern Hemisphere as the period between September, October and November, which is also known as the Autumnal Equinox (day and night having the same length).

Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere the autumn period is between March, April and May. In some countries autumnal equinox is regarded as “mid-autumn” while others treat it as the beginning of autumn as it encounters a longer lag.

Additionally, in European countries autumn relates to the harvesting of crops, fruits and vegetables; and you will notice that many cultures autumn, like the other seasons, manifest by the community with rites and festivals revolving autumn’s importance in food production. For example, wheat ripens during autumn and in the United States, the famous harvest celebrations are normally held.

However, during late October or November people in central and eastern United States as well as in Europe encounters a common autumn phenomenon known as Indian summer with period of unseasonably warm weather.
