It's finally pumpkin spice, sweater, and boot season...well almost! Today is known as the first day of Meteorological Fall! Meteorological Fall begins today through November 31st. Meteorological seasons are broken up in three-month increments and are temperature-based. They are broken up to better represent what it feels like during different times of the year.

Astronomical seasons are based on the sun and the tilt of the Earth. When Earth's axis is tilted neither towards or away the sun, the event is known as an "equinox". The sun is directly over the equator at noon during the Autumnal equinox and the Vernal equinox. There are two equinoxes a year—one in the fall and one in the spring. This means that there is nearly an equal amount of daylight and darkness for all latitudes. Autumn officially begins on September 22nd through December 21st.
