That Chill in the Air? Just Another False Fall Tease
US · Published Aug 30, 2025
False fall is a brief cool-down in late August or early September that feels like the start of autumn but is temporary.
It's caused by weaker late-summer heating, drought, and stronger cold fronts, leading to a temporary drop in temperatures.
Warmer weather usually returns after false fall, so true autumn, with its lasting cooler days, is still to come.
