When does fall start? Dates through 2036
How the date is set
Astronomical fall (autumn) in the Northern Hemisphere begins at the September equinox, which falls on September 22 or 23.
At the September equinox the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading south. From then until March, nights are longer than days in the Northern Hemisphere.
Good to know
- Meteorologists count fall from September 1 instead.
- In the Southern Hemisphere the September equinox is the start of spring.

The timer runs to the exact moment of the September equinox. The days figure in the sentence above counts calendar days in your time zone.
