The September equinox is the moment when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward. Because of differences between the calendar year and the tropical year, the September equinox may occur from September 21 to 24. The equinox may be taken to mark the end of astronomical summer and the beginning of astronomical autumn (autumnal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere. Meteorological autumn begins on the first day of September.

We in the north are now officially in autumn and we have cooler weather, lots of rain and now equinoctial gales.

We are away for a few days. Enjoy the weekend and next week.
