When does Fall begin?
The equinox brings Autumn on Sunday, September 22, 2013, at 4:44 p.m.
Enjoy a first day of fall poem, quotes, pictures, folklore, and more.
It is the summer's great last heat,
It is the fall's first chill: They meet.
-– Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt
"The Autumnal Equinox"
The word equinox comes from the Latin words for "equal night." The Fall and Spring equinoxes are the only days of the year in which the sun crosses the celestial equator. From here on out, the temperatures begin to drop and the days start to get shorter than the nights (i.e., hours of daylight decline).
