Meteorological fall is here: What that really means

Meteorologists define fall starting September 1 using fixed calendar months to standardize climate data, differing from the astronomical equinox on September 22.

  • Meteorologists marked Monday as the start of meteorological fall, signaling Toledoans have stepped into the new season on the weather calendar.
  • Meteorologists define seasons by calendar months, dividing the year into three-month blocks aligned with the Gregorian calendar to ease record-keeping and climate comparisons.
  • Each meteorological season runs about 89 to 93 days, with average high temperatures in September dropping from the low 80s to the low 70s by month's end.
  • In Toledo, September marks a clear weather shift as fog and cooler readings in the 50s or 40s appear, with a cold front bringing cooler highs and lower humidity Sunday and Monday.
  • The Climate Prediction Center's fall outlook projects above-average temperatures for South Florida now through the end of November, while fixed three-month seasons align 91-day periods better with climatological summer and winter.
