Today is September 1, and that means that summer is over and fall has begun for those of us who study the climate! We won’t feel fall-like weather today in the Southeast but hey, maybe this IS fall for a lot of us. Must be fall if there is football, right?

UPDATE: I started out calling it “meteorological fall” but after reading this article by Brian Brettschneider I realized that I needed to change my title. Read it and you will see why. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbrettschneider/2018/09/01/are-seasons-meteorological-or-climatological/#28e16327155b.
