When does fall start?

Astronomical fall (autumn) begins at an equinox. In the Northern Hemisphere it is the September equinox (September 22–23); in the Southern Hemisphere autumn starts at the March equinox (March 19–21). Meteorological fall starts on September 1 in the north and March 1 in the south. After the autumn equinox, nights become longer than days until the winter solstice.
