Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Autumn brings lots of changes. The trees begin to change colors, bringing a beautiful array of different colored foliage, which eventually drops off. It also brings cooler temperatures, and, as it progresses, we begin to put up our summer clothes, short sleeves, etc., and bring out our warm sweaters. |

Autumn especially September is the season when most hurricanes occur. Indian Summer comes in late October or early November, when there is especially fair weather and mild days. There are no set days, but follows Autumn's first period of cold, wintry days. It usually lasts one week to ten days, sometimes two weeks.
Other parts of the world have similar periods of weather. Europe calls it Old Wive's Summer. The English call it All Hallow Summer or St. Martin's Summer. In Poland, it's called God's Gift to Poland, and usually lasts four to five weeks. |
