In the northern hemisphere, the meteorological start of Autumn is on 1 September and it ends on 30 November; in the southern hemisphere it starts on 1 March and ends on 31 May. The astronomical start of Autumn is on 23 September and ends on 20 December in the northern hemisphere, and 20 March and 21 June in the southern hemisphere. Autumn starts on or around 7 August and ends on about 6 November in solar term.In Ireland, Autumn begins on 1 August and ends 31 October, due to the Irish calendar.The word Autumn comes from the Old French word autompne (automne in modern French), and was later normalized to the original Latin word Autumnus. There are rare examples of its use as early as the 14th century, but it became common by the 16th century.
