Autumn officially begins with the 2026 autumnal equinox

The astronomical autumn officially began on September 23, 2026, marked by the autumnal equinox. This celestial event occurs when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths across the planet. Following this transition, days will gradually shorten and nights will lengthen in the Northern Hemisphere until the winter solstice in December.

Weather patterns across the Balkan region are shifting alongside the season. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, forecasts indicate a transition toward cloudier skies and rain, with potential wind gusts and temperature fluctuations. Parts of the region are seeing early signs of winter, including snow on high mountain peaks such as Kopaonik and Goliya in Serbia, and Pamporovo in Bulgaria. While many areas experience typical autumnal cooling, some parts of Europe may see unseasonably warm temperatures due to high-pressure systems.
