Is it fall? Yes. And no. Is it still summer? Yes. And no. Meteorological fall began on Sept. 1, according to WGN-TV meteorologist Tom Skilling. Astronomical fall usually begins around Sept. 21. This morning it was 44 degrees in Peoria, Ill., for example, which is fall-like. I believe in the meteorological seasons rather than the astronomical seasons for Midwestern climes.
The meteorological seasons begin on Sept. 1, Dec. 1, March 1 and June 1. Of course, it can be hot here in early September and frigid in early March. And brisk in early June. Still, most of us think of June as a summery month and December as a wintry one. Our climate just doesn't quite align with the solstices and equinoxes.
