As you know, calendar autumn begins on September 1, and astronomical autumn begins on the day of the autumnal equinox, that is, September 22.
In folk superstitions, the beginning of autumn is associated with the departure of birds, leaf fall, and frosts. For centuries, people have observed, analyzed, and compared natural phenomena, as a result of which autumn signs appeared. According to some distinctive features, without resorting to the help of weather forecasters, of whom there was no trace yet, our ancestors learned to predict a lot. For example, back in the spring they knew what summer would be like and what to expect from autumn. Even in winter, they decided what they would do with the future harvest and what they would sow in the fall.
Autumn signs came to the rescue if people were preparing for the holidays. It is very convenient to plan events knowing what the weather will be like on a given day. Our great-grandfathers managed to create signs of autumn for almost all calendar days from the end of August to the end of November. Yes, yes, there are signs for September 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, etc.! The same thing applies to October, November and all other months of the year!
