When does autumn really start?
 

No earlier than the second equinox in the year (22 September) or do you start pumpkin-and-Christmas-light-searching immediately after the 12th of August?

somewhere around 22 september i guess


we have last few summer days it seems now and tomorrow

The uk its the 1st for sure.

I know we always get nice days in september and even some warm nights but September definitely aint summer.

It doesn't feel like autumn until the end of September nowadays, so then I guess

It depends what you mean by autumn

Meterologically speaking its 1st sept

Astronomically speaking its the equinox

for many its the first foggy morning or when a tree shows red leaves or the first frost

August 1st in Ireland

Today for me because of the weather. September 1st in Greece is basically summer temperature-wise

I'd personally go with it being "when it becomes obvious" - when the leaves start turning, it's Autumn. Likewise with Spring - when stuff starts growing back, it's Spring. I have a little stubby tree in the front garden that gets very "bushy" in summer but looks like a bundle of sticks in winter... I just use that as the gauge.

August 1st in Ireland

For me its when i start gettimng leaves and stuff on the back grass and i cant tell what is a dog turd and what is a shrivelled leaf

:oh:

You don’t live in Ireland so there’s no need repeating what Niamh said.

But she normally very good with her facts so I trust her :cheer2:

When you are a question multiple members will have the same answer if the answer is correct :smug:

For me it starts with the 'brrrr' months aka Septembrrrrr Octobrrrr etc :idc

we still have plenty snow patches in Scotland that will last till the new snow comes this week

2122nd or 23rd sept for me

Around this time feels about right

Perfectly put LT

Well nature like everything else in life is totally beggered .. gardening books may as well be chucked because all the suggested dates are months out of sync..

We’ve still got pigeons making nests and getting jiggy in our back garden.
