Why count down to September 23?

September 23 draws attention each year because it coincides with or falls just one day from the autumnal equinox — the astronomical moment when the sun crosses the celestial equator heading southward. This marks the official beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and is a date recognized by astronomers, meteorologists, and seasonal planners alike.

Beyond the equinox, September 23 lands deep enough in September that the rhythms of daily life have fully shifted back into fall mode across the United States. School is well underway, summer travel has wound down, and households are beginning to think ahead toward the holiday stretch of the fourth quarter.
