Scroll autumn signs about alive and inanimate nature.

Autumn is the time of thinkers and philosophers. Indeed, many people think so. But this is also the time of harvest, as well as a sharp change in weather. After all, now the nights are getting longer and the days are getting shorter. If you pay attention to the weather in autumn, you can find out what awaits us in winter, spring, and whether there will be a harvest next year. Thanks to numerous observations of our ancestors, folk signs have emerged that help predict the weather in certain months, as well as the time of year.

Folk signs of early and late autumn

Autumn is glorified by many classics of world literature, because it is at this time that they can write a lot and inspiration appears. Wise people In addition to harvesting, preparing for winter, they are also attentive to changes weather conditions, precipitation, as well as animal behavior. All these signs will help determine exactly what winter, spring, and summer will be like.

Signs are divided into several types:

• Based on animal behavior. On changes in their mood, as well as color, thickness of the fur coat, changes in the skin.
• On changes in precipitation. That is, on how strong or weak snowing, rain, possibly hail.
• On how insects behave.
• How does the color of leaves change (some features of trees, plants).
• Observation of the moon, stars, wind, and clouds.

The list will accept:

• If the summer was quite humid, there was a lot of precipitation, and the fall was very warm, then most likely the winter will be very long and cold.
• If there is a strong shower of stars in the fall, this indicates that next year there will be a weak harvest of wheat, as well as fruits and vegetables.
• The snow fell very early, which means the onset of spring will be quite early.
• If the stars are hidden behind the clouds, expect bad weather the next day. If they shine brightly, then tomorrow the weather will be very good.
• If a little frost or hoarfrost is found on the grass early in the morning, the autumn day will be warm and nice.
• During velvet season There are a lot of cobwebs flying, which means that autumn will be warm and clear. But it's a long winter.
• There are a lot of cobwebs on the trees, indicating that the winter will be harsh and cold.
• If you find mosquitoes in your house in November, then the winter will be warm.
• If you have a farm and chickens and ducks hide their heads under their wings, expect a very cold winter.
• If birds fly high enough to warm regions, then the winter will be warm. If it's low, expect bitter frosts.

• A lot of rowan trees in the forest indicate that autumn will be rainy and gloomy. In winter there will be a lot of wet snow and rain. If there are few rowan trees, then the winter will be dry.

Folk signs of warm and cold autumn

Many of our ancestors have been collecting signs for thousands of years. They were collected mainly thanks to the attentiveness of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. One person noticed one event, and the other noticed another. This is how folk signs appeared, which now also do not lose their relevance and are often used by summer residents, as well as people who own a farm. They help determine and predict the weather, and better prepare for a cold and snowy winter.

ABOUT autumn signs:

• The leaves begin to fall very late, which means that the winter will be cold and snowy.
• If leaf fall begins very early, this foretells a good harvest for the next year.
• Notice how the leaves fall from the trees. If they fall face up, then the harvest will be good. If on the wrong side, then scanty.
• If rowan, viburnum, and raspberry ripen very early, the winter will be difficult and very cold.
• If yellow leaves appear at the top of a birch tree, then autumn will be early. If from below, then expect a long winter.
• If on coniferous trees a lot of cones, expect a difficult, frosty winter.
• If you find viburnum cysts that are fully ripe, but the leaves are still green, there are a lot of them, wait for a warm winter.
• If the leaves on the trees begin to change color gradually, very slowly, then the winter will be warm. If the leaves suddenly turn yellow and fall off, expect a cold winter.

If the autumn is warm and clear, then in the spring expect heavy downpours. If, on the contrary, the autumn is rainy and slushy, then the spring will be long, clear, and will soon turn into a hot summer.

If squirrels build their nests closer to the ground, then the winter will be very cold and snowy. Closer to the treetops, warm weather is expected.

If your cherry tree in the yard still has leaves, but snow has fallen, it will quickly melt and continue to melt until the tree sheds its leaves.

If in the autumn you find a huge pile of anthills that seem to be buried and insulated, this promises a very cold winter.

Folk signs in the animate and inanimate nature of the weather in autumn

You can predict the weather, as well as predict what will happen in the winter next year, not only by the behavior of birds, animals, and also plants. Inanimate nature has a lot to say. These are precipitation, wind, rain or lightning.

The most interesting thing is to predict what awaits us next year or in soon, it is possible not only according to the weather. Trees or plants, animals also have a lot to tell about. Leaf fall, as well as a change in wind direction, also means a lot and can predetermine weather conditions further.

Folk signs autumn in living and inanimate nature:

• If squirrels store a huge amount of nuts for the winter, then she will be very cold and hungry.
• If moles pull a lot of straw and dry leaves into their holes in the fall, this indicates that the winter will be harsh.
• If you saw a key of cranes in the sky, flying slowly and cooing very quietly, this indicates warm autumn and that winter will not come very soon.
• You can also predict the weather by looking at hares. If you are going hunting in the fall and shoot a hare, pay attention to the amount of subcutaneous fat. If there is a lot of it, then the winter will be fierce; if there is a thin layer, expect a warm winter with a small amount of snow.
• If the chicken begins to lose its feathers at the very beginning of autumn, the winter will be warm.
• If early autumn hares are in no hurry to change their gray coat to white, starlings do not fly away, then most likely the autumn will be long and the winter late.

Signs about inanimate nature:

• If there is thunder in September and heavy rain, this means that winter will not come soon.
• If there is thunder in October, the winter will be practically without snow.
• If you watch a beautiful golden sunset in the evening, then expect a sunny, cheerful and pleasant morning.
• If the moon is blurry and does not have clear outlines, expect rain or cloudy weather the next day. If it is clear and round, the day will be clear.
• If the first snowfall fell during the day or in the morning, which means the snow and frost will not stay long. Soon the temperature will be above zero and the snow will melt. If it falls at night, expect a snowy, long winter. This snow will not melt soon.

Autumn signs in living and inanimate nature for the winter

Signs based on dates can also tell a lot about something. Our ancestors paid attention to certain days and connected them, deducing some kind of pattern.

Signs by day:

• September 8th is considered harvest day. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the amount of rowan and viburnum. If there are a lot of berries, the winter will be cold and snowy.
• September 14 is considered the beginning of Indian summer. If the weather is sunny, then almost all autumn you will bask in the rays of the sun and also enjoy the warmth.
• On October 8, the first snowflakes fell on wet ground, the snow will last long enough. If the soil was dry, the snow would soon melt.
• On October 14, the cranes flew away, expect winter to come soon, and also that it will be long.
• On November 5 you detected hail or snow pellets - it will come soon real winter and severe cold.
• Snow fell on November 8th - expect snowy weather for Easter too. If everything has melted, then almost the entire winter there will be above-zero temperatures.
• On November 12, many tits and sparrows fly near the house - expect a fierce, cold winter that will come soon.
• On November 19, snow will fall, then precipitation in the form of snow will be observed throughout the cold season.
• November 29th will be strong wind, which means a blizzard is expected, as well as a huge amount of snow until mid-December.

Autumn has its own signs. Which ones? Interesting? Let's study the signs of autumn for children - in pictures, poems and cartoons.

We will find out what periods autumn is divided into, what kind of heating is in a hedgehog’s house, why trees turn yellow, which birds consider our region warm, watch interesting cartoons on the theme of autumn, and much more interesting things!

Signs of early autumn: September

1. First yellow leaves

Early Autumn looks like Summer! Just as sunny, warm, green! Only here and there in the foliage, yellow leaves begin to appear, like sunbeams - this is Autumn trying out its brush.

The mornings are piercingly cold.
It's autumn, and already in earnest.
But there is no need to worry about that,
So said the September apricot.
This is how cicadas sing on a warm evening,
After all, like in summer, the night is shorter than the day.
The rains are in no hurry to meet us,
Just like the birds are catching up with summer.
Summer did not close, like doors,
Behind you is a distant horizon.
And believe me, all is not lost yet,
It's not time to spread your umbrella yet.
In September, like a summer lover,
Because he waves a branch at me
Apricot, summer green,
All playing in the solar fire.

2. Autumn fruit harvest

In September, apples, grapes, and pears ripen - a generous harvest - a tasty and bright sign of autumn!

3. Chestnuts, acorns, nuts!

Inedible, but no less interesting things – chestnuts, for example – also ripen.

And acorns, and rowan, and... pine cones! It’s great to make a variety of crafts from all these autumn gifts: acorns, rowan beads. And nuts can be used both for food (very healthy, by the way!) and for crafts.

Signs of Golden Autumn: October

The amber world - sun and leaves,
And the soul is filled with amber.
In the sky, on the ground, in the trees -
It's like we're living in a wonderful fairy tale!

4. Golden autumn

The most beautiful autumn time! All courtyards, parks and squares turn into fabulous Golden Lands. That's when you need to run outside with a camera and the whole family rustle, wander, and roll in the fragrant heaps of sunshine! Organize photo shoots and play games!

You can keep a weather calendar and record your observations of nature there. If you look closely, every day the tree on the way home becomes more and more yellow. You stand under a tree on a cloudy morning and it turns into a sunny one! I’ll tell you a secret that, probably, then the leaves turn yellow - with such amazing luminous trees, we will still be sunny on gloomy autumn days!

And here it is scientific explanation why trees turn yellow and shed their leaves is very accessible and fascinatingly told, even small children will understand it, and even adults will find it interesting!

Not only for the children, but also for me, the information about red, orange, and yellow coloring pigments in foliage turned out to be new and very interesting.

Look - from multi-colored autumn leaves you can make a rainbow!

Please note that the trees do not all turn yellow at once, they change color one by one. The first are those who woke up first in the spring. And those whose leaves bloom late remain stubbornly green the longest. Just like “owls” and “larks”, they also exist among the trees.

Autumn boat in cozy grayness
Guides with a silent oar,
Only the tree glows festively
Behind the cold autumn glass.
Still turning green stubbornly,
Only this maple didn’t want to wait:
Blazed like the sun, but early
He flew south like a Firebird.

Here's another sign of Autumn - birds fly away warmer climes. Do you remember how all summer, from dawn to dusk, swift swallows swarmed over the courtyards?

A. Fet
The swallows have disappeared
And yesterday dawned
All the rooks were flying
Yes, like a network, they flashed
Over that mountain...

Now these nice birds are on their way to southern seas, and they will return in the spring, on the first warm days. Find out with your kids which other birds are migratory, and which ones stay with us? (migratory - swallows, nightingales, storks, cranes, rooks. Sedentary - sparrows, crows, pigeons, tits).

5. Migratory birds

But bullfinches, on the contrary, fly to us from their northern regions! We have warm bullfinch lands. It’s very cool in winter to see these cute birds with their breasts as bright as lights among the snowy branches!

A very nice sign of Autumn is a round titmouse, like a yellow bun, that has flown in to check out what’s going on in those places where it was treated to seeds last winter. At the tits excellent memory. And when it starts to get colder, they fly out from the forests where they spent the whole summer - for reconnaissance. Wait a moment, titmice! The first snow will be coming soon, and we will definitely hang a feeder on the balcony to make your winter more fun.

6. Animals are preparing for winter

An interesting sign of autumn, which is difficult to see in the city, but can be seen in the park or in the forest - how all kinds of living creatures prepare for winter. Hedgehogs carry fallen leaves on needles into their nests. Do you think they are making a bed? Nope. This is their heating system! The leaves blow and give off heat, this is how the hedgehog has such an interesting battery.

Squirrels store food for the winter: they string mushrooms on branches, bury acorns and cones. And squirrels have an excellent memory, no worse than that of tits - the squirrel easily finds its closets under the snow in the middle of winter.

Well, let’s remember with the kids: who sleeps in winter, who doesn’t sleep? (Bears, hedgehogs, fish, frogs, insects, Moomintrolls sleep; squirrels, hares, wolves, foxes do not sleep).

7. Leaf fall

The trees are showing off in sunny, fiery outfits, and the leaves are beginning to fall. It’s an amazing, magical time when it’s so great to wander under the trees in heaps of foliage, to catch a leaf that has unexpectedly fallen from a branch, like a summer meteor shower - what if it lands right in your hands? And make wishes!

You can collect chic bouquets of leaves, admire them, make them or!

For some reason we dreamed of summer,
Even though it’s already autumn in reality,
And all night the wind shook the trees,
Picking off wet leaves.
The sunny maples have thinned out,
You can see the blue through the crowns.
And the trees stand in surprise,
And they drop the gold into the grass.
Maybe they also dreamed of summer...
Only really - autumn is real
Scatters generously, like coins,
Golden feet of foliage.

Another sign of Autumn is a surprisingly blue, high sky, even bluer and higher than in summer.

Signs Late Autumn: November

So the leaves have flown, it’s not for nothing that in Ukrainian the third month of autumn is called Listopad. Trees dream of summer, and to make it more comfortable for them to doze with bare branches, in the morning they are enveloped in thick autumn fog.

Sometimes the fog turns into a light drizzle, or even rain. The belated, most persistent leaves float in the puddles like little boats. And you must admit, autumn rain and fog are good and pleasant in their own way. This is a time of aromatic teas and hot chocolate, beautiful poetry and music, cozy evenings and philosophical reflections. By the way, you can philosophize with 4-5 year olds. You'll see, they will surprise you with their reasoning.

Soon the rain will give way to the first snow, and one November morning the world will become white, fresh and surprisingly new. And it’s not far there New Year! But this will be a new story.

Autumn- a thoughtful time when vegetable world slows down the growth rate, all nature is tired, and begins a long preparation for winter sleep. Birds stop singing and increasingly gather in flocks to leave their native lands for a short time in search of warmth, and the trees become covered with gold and begin to shed their leaves. This is how leaf fall begins, the autumn season, which is called Golden autumn. Here are the pastel colors of autumn, calm, like nature itself at this time of year. The predominant colors are yellow, golden, like falling leaves in the sun, and quiet brown. And closer to November, when the weather becomes increasingly gloomy, gray tones. All nature is closer preparing for the cold, winds and frozen in anticipation of snow.
Autumn colors are rich and variegated, a combination of the deepest colors. The colors during this period are muted and thoughtful, like nature itself in the fall, motley and soft, close to the romantic mood of walks through the autumn forest.

Indian summer

It has long been known that in mid-September - early October there is an increase in temperature (after the first cold snap). This time is popularly called " Indian summer"During the "Indian summer", warmed by the spring sun, mushrooms crawl out of the ground and plants begin to bloom again. According to the folk calendar, it lasts from September 14 - the day of the Seeds of the Summer Guide - to September 21 - the day of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God.
Why this phenomenon is called “Indian summer” and not something else is difficult to answer definitively. One can only assume that it is connected with the life and activities of a peasant woman. In the second half of September, field harvesting work ended, and the woman, very busy in the field, was a little relieved from hard work and could feel for a while summer rest. The coincidence of such a period everyday life with periods of relatively warm, pleasant weather, obviously giving rise to the name "Indian summer". The duration of such rest for a woman was as short as the periods of return of summer heat. After the "Indian summer" women began to crumple and ruffle hemp, wash it and lay flax, tinker with canvases and take up spindles and needlework.

Autumn is perhaps the most mysterious and romantic time of the year, it’s not for nothing that poets and artists different eras dedicated their numerous works to this golden age. Only autumn first gives a person a harvest, and then plunges all nature into sleep. Folk calendar full a huge amount autumn, which were based on observations of natural patterns and their connections with certain events. Centuries ago, when people were not yet familiar with science, only signs and beliefs, which our ancestors completely trusted, could predict and explain certain phenomena.

Folk signs of autumn could tell in detail about the upcoming weather, what winter and spring would be like, whether the next year would bring a good harvest or not.

Many people to this day predict the weather based only on ancient beliefs. Let's try to find out exactly what signs of autumn can most accurately tell us about upcoming weather changes.

What do the signs of early autumn mean?

As everyone knows, according to the calendar, this time of year begins on September 1, and the first signs of autumn are associated with the fall of leaves and the flight of birds. So, if the leaves begin to fall early, then winter will not be long in coming. Severe cold and harsh winter promised fast and late leaf fall.

If at the end of September the aspen and birch trees have lost all their leaves, then the coming year will be fertile. But if an apple tree blooms in the fall, then the omen does not bode well, because this foreshadows imminent death a person whose house is not far from this tree.

Migratory birds fly high, so expect great weather. And if at this time of year birds fly close to the ground, it will be cold.

Weather signs in autumn

The following beliefs can warn about rainy days:

1. The acorns have developed a thick skin, which means that severe cold snaps are coming.
2. The leaves on the birch have turned yellow - frost is approaching.
3. If stars twinkle in the sky in November, the weather will sharply worsen and the wind will increase.
4. If there are a lot of berries on the rowan tree, autumn will be very rainy.
5. In September there will be low clouds - there will be prolonged rains and cold.
6. If you see a flying swan, it means snow, and a flying goose means rain.
7. After sunset, a large white cloud appears - severe bad weather will come for several weeks.

Good weather can be predicted by the following signs:

1. If it is sunset, then autumn will not be rainy.
2. Early in the morning the sky is clear, without clouds - the coming days will be sunny and dry.
3. In October in the sky bright stars– wait for a sunny and warm day.
4. If thunder rumbles in September, then autumn promises to be long and warm.
5. Frost at this time of year predicts the onset of warm sunny days.

Folk signs of autumn, foreshadowing a warm winter:

1. Until the leaves fall from the cherry tree, snow will not fall and frost will not break out.
2. At the end of autumn, mosquitoes appeared, which means that the winter will be mild.
3. Chickens begin to molt early - the winter is expected to be warm.
4. If on the morning of the holiday of the Winter Matrona (November 9) heavy fog– then it will be warm in December.

Folk signs of autumn, foreshadowing a harsh winter:

To believe or not in folk signs is a personal matter for everyone. Beliefs exist because people have observed and noted certain patterns in nature, in the behavior of animals, etc. for centuries. It is worth remembering that nothing happens for nothing, and if, after thousands of years, signs have reached our days, it means that they still contributed contribution to human life.

Traditionally autumn in Rus' it is time for agricultural holidays and harvest rituals. At this time, the harvest was being harvested, which ensured a happy and well-fed winter, prosperity and well-being in the family.

Small forms of folklore, such as proverbs, preserved in speech and reflected the importance of the fruitful season in the life of a person dependent on nature. Through a proverb, in a short, concise form, people drew analogies between good harvest and wealth ( “In autumn and the crow has a shock of bread”), noted seasonal changes in the world of animals and plants.

The importance of weather became the reason for the division of proverbs into phenological periods, that is, according to climatic features. So they highlight early autumn– a bright, joyful period, reflecting the beauty and generosity of nature, golden – beautiful time the withering of leaves and the travel of migratory birds, and the pre-winter period is a time of unpredictable bad weather, a sign to prepare for winter. All these phases thematically correspond to their own types of proverbs. Every autumn month also honored with special sayings.

Proverbs about autumn express the primary interests of the farmer: livestock health, folk signs to the weather, which can affect the economy, the desire for prosperity and peace.
