About the First Day of Fall
The first day of fall arrives with the September equinox, when day and night are nearly equal in length. It is a gentle turning point in the year: summer warmth fades, leaves begin to change, and evenings slowly grow longer and cooler.
Meteorological fall starts earlier, on September 1, because weather records are grouped by whole months. The season is called fall in the United States and autumn in the United Kingdom, but both words describe the same season. In the southern hemisphere, the September equinox marks the start of spring instead.
