It is officially fall!
Yesterday was the September Equinox, when day and night are almost the same length all around the world — about 12 hours. The word “equinox” actually means equal night. So in the northern hemisphere, today is officially the first day of autumn. From now until the December Solstice, the days will get shorter and colder.
