what day does fall officially begin
Alas, summer is coming to a close because September 22 is, however unfortunate, the first day of fall. The season officially begins at 4:44 p.m. EDT during the autumnal equinox, when the sun crosses directly over the Earth's equator and both day and night are about equal. Fall will last a solid three months until the beginning of Winter on December 21, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. But all is not lost!
