The autumn equinox in 2026 occurs on September 23 at 3:05 AM in Romania, marking the official start of the astronomical autumn. This event signifies equal day and night lengths, leading to shorter days and longer nights until the winter solstice. While the northern hemisphere experiences the onset of colder weather, the southern hemisphere welcomes spring. Traditionally, this time is associated with the end of harvest activities, where people gather their crops and prepare for winter. Celebrations include enjoying fresh fruits and the first must from grapes, believed to bring health and luck for the year ahead. Weather patterns during the equinox are also observed to predict the severity of the upcoming winter.
