(begins with september equinox)
(ends with december solstice)
(AKA “AUTUMN”)
(from ancient estruscan root ‘autu-‘)
(meaning ‘passing of a year’?)
(the word “fall” is traced back to ‘germanic languages’)
(indicating ‘falling leaves’ from the trees?)

(also known as fall in ‘american english’ and sometimes in ‘canadian english’)

(‘autumn’ is 1 of the 4 ‘temperate seasons’)
(‘autumn’ marks the transition from ‘summer’ to ‘winter’)
(in ‘september’ for ‘northern hemisphere’)
(in ‘march’ for ‘southern hemisphere’)
(when the ‘duration’ of ‘daylight’ becomes ‘noticeably shorter’ and the ‘temperature’ cools down considerably)
(one of its ‘main features’ is the ‘shedding’ of ‘leaves’ from ‘deciduous trees’)
(some ‘cultures’ regard the ‘autumnal equinox’ as “mid-autumn”, while others with a ‘longer temperature lag’ treat it as the ‘start of autumn’)
(can we please take off the ‘N’ at the end of ‘autum’?)
(…says the all-too-literal autistic)
(a ‘seasonal idiot savant’)
(‘meteorologists’ (and most of the ‘temperate countries’ in the ‘southern hemisphere’) use a definition based on ‘gregorian calendar months’, with ‘autumn’ being (‘september’ / ‘october’ / ‘november’) in the ‘northern hemisphere’ and (‘march’ / ‘april’ / ‘may’) in the ‘southern hemisphere’)
(in ‘north america’, ‘autumn’ traditionally starts on ‘september 21st’ and ends on ‘december 21’)
(it is considered to start with the ‘september equinox’ (some moment betweeen ‘september 21’ and ‘september 24’) and end with the ‘winter solstice’ (some moment between ‘december 21st’ and ‘december 22nd’)
(‘popular culture’ in the ‘united states’ associates ‘labor day’ (the first ‘monday’ in ‘september’) as the ‘end of summer’ and the ‘start of autumn’)
(certain ‘summer traditions’ (such as ‘wearing white’, are ‘discouraged’ after that ‘date’)
(???)
(a european-american ‘old money’ custom?)
(as ‘daytime’ and ‘nighttime’ temperatures ‘decrease’, ‘trees’ shed their ‘leaves’)
(in the ‘traditional east asian solar term’, ‘autumn’ starts on (or around) ‘august 8th’ and ends on (or around) ‘november 7th’)
(in ‘ireland’, the ‘autumn months’ according to the ‘national meteorological service’ (‘met éireann’) are (‘september’ / ‘october’ / ‘november’))
(however, according to the ‘irish calendar’ (which is based on ‘ancient gaelic traditions’), ‘autumn’ lasts throughout the months of ‘august’ / ‘september’ / ‘october’ (or possibly a few days later depending on ‘tradition’))
(the ‘names of the months’ in ‘manx gaelic’ are similarly based on ‘autumn’ covering ‘august’ / ‘september’ / ‘october’)
(note AUgust + AUtumn)
(never noticed that before right now)
(did you?)
(my dear reader(s)…)
(in (‘argentina’ / ‘australia’ / ‘new zealand’), ‘autumn ‘officially begins’ on ‘march 1st’ and ends on ‘may 31st’)
(‘argentina’ and ‘australia’ are closer than you’d think)
(only ~7800 miles via the ‘pacific ocean’)
