- Summer will be technically over & Autumn will begin
- & it is the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere
- one of two days every year when Day & Night will be of equal length everywhere on Earth - & nighttime will then be longer than daytime in the Northern Hemisphere for the next six months.
