Good news that many are waiting for... Less than 30 days until the autumnal equinox (details)

Arab Weather - August is drawing to a close, and only a few days separate us from the start of the meteorologically significant autumn season, which begins on September 1st. This season is favored by winter lovers and cold weather.

What is the difference between the beginning of autumn meteorologically and astronomically, and what is the actual beginning of autumn?

Autumn is defined meteorologically based on climate records. Meteorologists divide the year into four fixed seasons, each lasting three full months, to facilitate comparison of weather and climate data across years. Accordingly, the beginning of autumn meteorologically extends from September 1st to the end of November in the Northern Hemisphere.

The astronomical beginning of autumn is determined based on the Earth's movement around the sun and the tilt of its axis. Thus, autumn begins astronomically on the first day of the autumnal equinox, around September 22 or 23 of each year. This is when the sun's rays are directly overhead at the equator, and the length of day and night is approximately equal throughout the world. Then, the hours of night begin to gradually increase in the northern hemisphere.

How long until fall 2025?

There are 25 days left until the astronomical start of the autumn season, which begins, according to astronomical calculations, on Monday, September 22nd, at exactly 9:19 PM Jordan time. This day is called the autumnal equinox. You can now find out the number of days, hours, and minutes remaining until the astronomical start of the autumn season through our countdown timer.

Meteorologists at Arab Weather said that autumn in Jordan and the eastern Mediterranean basin is characterized by frequent weather fluctuations and temperature variations. The weather gradually cools, especially during the night and early morning hours, due to decreasing solar radiation and the sun gradually receding from the northern hemisphere.

Weather fluctuations gradually begin as we progress into autumn, due to the approach of cold air masses to the region. This leads to the emergence of atmospheric instability due to the thermal contrast between the cold air coming from the north and the hot, humid air from the south.
