Autumn 2025: A Time of Transition

The Arrival of Autumn

As the days grow shorter and the leaves begin to change color, we know that autumn is upon us. This year, Autumn 2025 will begin on Monday, September 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere. With the arrival of autumn comes a sense of change and transition, as we move from the warmth of summer to the cooler temperatures of fall.

The Changing Seasons

The change in seasons is caused by the Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the sun. As the Earth tilts away from the sun, the Northern Hemisphere receives less direct sunlight, resulting in shorter days and cooler temperatures. This change in sunlight triggers the leaves on trees to change color, as they prepare for winter.

Autumn is a time of beauty, as the leaves of deciduous trees transform into vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. The changing colors of the leaves are a reminder of the cycle of life, as the trees prepare for winter and the eventual return of spring.
