So it is again time of pumpkins, which are connected to Autumn for me.
Wikipedia says about autumn:
Astronomically, some Western countries consider autumn to begin with the autumnal equinox (around September 23 in the northern hemisphere and March 21 in the southern hemisphere) and end with the winter solstice (around December 21 in the northern hemisphere and June 21 in the southern hemisphere).[1] Such conventions are by no means universal, however. In Chinese astronomy, for example, the autumnal equinox marks the middle of autumn, which is deemed to have begun around the time of Liqiu (around August 7).
Other definitions are based on counting entire months. Meteorologists, for example, count March, April and May in the southern hemisphere, and September, October and November in the northern hemisphere as autumn,[1] while in the Irish Calendar, which still follows the Celtic cycle, autumn is counted as the whole months of August, September and October.
Although the days begin to shorten after the summer solstice, it is usually in September (northern hemisphere) or March (southern hemisphere) when twilight becomes noticeably shorter and the change more abrupt in comparison with the more lingering ones of summer.
All of these definitions, as with those of the seasons generally, are somewhat flawed because they assume that the seasons are all of the same length, and begin and end at the same time throughout the temperate zone of each hemisphere. |
