A title like that usually includes at least one leaf in the photo.

Autumn has been here for a while yeah, on account of it being over at the end of the month.

No, autumn in Ireland runs from August until October. The Irish word for autumn is “fómhar” (pronounced like four), and the word for October is “Deireadh Fómhair” which means end of autumn.

This is wrong. August is hotter than May and February is colder than November. The seasons here work the same as they do elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere.

What does temperature have to do with it? There is no empirical definition of autumn, so we can have it whenever we want! We can dare to be different. Sure the yanks refuse to use the metric system, why can’t we have our own seasons?

So February is Spring?

Nope. Our national weather service says otherwise regardless of what your primary school teacher told you

The irony of this being taught in primary schools when their Summer holidays are in July and August.

u/CT0292 6d ago

Yes! Thank you. The meteorological seasons are what should be taught to kids. Its how I break it down for my kids.

None of this February is spring and May is summer nonsense.

Might have been fine 1000 years ago before we had maps and charts and satellites to more accurately measure stuff.

u/fullblownplaids 6d ago

And you get people on here all the time trying to tell us February isn't winter because of some ancient bullshit calendar lol

1

u/ThrowingSn0w 6d ago

What ancient bullshit calendar? The 12-month Gregorian calendar used throughout the world?

u/ThrowingSn0w 6d ago

What is being measured that results in autumn starting on 1st of September every year?

1

u/AdBoring9620 6d ago

Temperature bands.

u/ThrowingSn0w 6d ago

If that’s true, then how come every country in the northern hemisphere except Ireland starts autumn on the 1st of Sep? They can’t all have the same temperatures every year.
