On September 22nd, autumn will begin in Querétaro, along with the arrival of the equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. On this date, the change of season will occur around 7:00 a.m., ushering in days with less sunlight and longer nights.
What is the autumn equinox?
The autumn equinox is an astronomical phenomenon in which day and night are of equal length across the Earth. Its name comes from the Latin aequinoctium, meaning “equal night,” referring to the temporal balance between sunlight and night.
This year, it will begin on September 22nd; however, it sometimes occurs between September 21st and 23rd. This is due to the calendar adjustment, which adjusts for leap years, which add a day to February every four years.
When does the cold season begin in Querétaro?
The arrival of autumn is characterized by cooler temperatures in Mexico, especially at night and in the early morning. This year, according to the National Meteorological Service, the cold season in Querétaro is expected to begin in the second half of September, meaning the colder days in our state have already begun.
