Pretty Much Everywhere on this Planet (You know, the one there’s no substitute for) — Meteorological autumn began on September 1, covering September, October, and November—or, as we call them in South Florida: Heatember, Hotober, and BelieveItsFall. For most, though, the new season truly begins with the equinox. The September equinox in 2026 occurs on Tuesday, September 22, at 8:05 p.m. EDT (00:05 UTC on September 23). At that moment, astronomical autumn begins in the Northern Hemisphere and astronomical spring in the Southern Hemisphere. Around the world, day and night are roughly equal in length, though not perfectly so.

TWH – This year, the autumnal equinox falls on Sept. 22 at 9:54 PM ET in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the moment that officially signals the start of fall. At this time, there will be an equal amount of light and dark, after which the nights are longer as than days as we head toward winter. Outside of religious life, this season is well celebrated.
