False Fall vs. Real Fall: Know the Signs
• False fall is a brief cool spell in late summer that mimics autumn, caused by weaker heating and cold fronts.
• Real fall is marked by consistent cool temperatures, lower humidity, and shorter daylight hours.
• The timing of real fall varies regionally, influenced by humidity levels and temperature patterns.
Differentiating between a brief cool spell and autumn
As summer begins to wane, many eagerly anticipate the arrival of fall with its cooler temperatures and vibrant foliage. However, nature often plays a trick on us with what is commonly known as a 'false fall.' This brief cool spell, typically occurring in late August or early September, can be misleading. It's a period where weaker late-summer heating, dry conditions, and the intrusion of cold fronts give the illusion that autumn has arrived prematurely.
