Autumn 2026 transition approaches in the Northern Hemisphere
The Northern Hemisphere is approaching the astronomical start of autumn in 2026. According to astronomical calculations, the season is expected to begin around September 22 or 23, coinciding with the autumnal equinox when the sun is positioned nearly directly over the equator.
While the equinox marks the official seasonal change, the transition in temperature is expected to be gradual. In regions such as Egypt, summer-like conditions, including high temperatures and humidity, may persist through the first half of September. As the season progresses, daylight hours will gradually decrease while nighttime hours increase.
For the agricultural sector, September serves as a critical period for harvesting summer crops and preparing for autumn planting. Experts advise that agricultural decisions should not rely solely on astronomical dates but should instead monitor actual soil temperatures and prevailing weather conditions.
