For meteorologists, fall runs from September 1 to November 30. We are often asked why we don’t use the astronomical fall calendar for our calculations (this year astronomical fall starts on September 22). The answer is a combination of convenience and providing the best match between the calendar and the seasonal characteristics. A good explanation can be found on the Capital Weather Gang blog at the Washington Post here.
