Autumn, or fall, is one of the four temperate seasons, marking the transition from summer to winter. In the Northern Hemisphere, it typically begins in September, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it starts in March. During this season, days become noticeably shorter, and temperatures cool significantly as daylight decreases and nights lengthen until the winter solstice.
A hallmark of autumn, particularly in temperate regions, is the vibrant change in leaf color of deciduous trees as they prepare to shed their leaves.
Cultural interpretations of autumn vary. Some cultures view the autumnal equinox as the midpoint of the season, while others, particularly in regions with a delayed temperature response, consider it the start of autumn. In high latitude English-speaking countries, autumn has historically been observed from Lammas Day to Hallowe'en, which aligns with traditional agricultural cycles.
Meteorologically, autumn is defined by calendar months: September to November in the Northern Hemisphere and March to May in the Southern Hemisphere. This classification helps standardize weather observations and seasonal trends.

The River and the Drops
High in the mountains, where no one watched and no one applauded, tiny drops of water slipped from melting snow. Each drop was small, almost invisible, and carried a quiet fear within itself. They began their journey without knowing where they were going, only knowing that they were moving away from where they began.
