OCALA, FL (352today.com) – It’s the great debate every year: Is the first day of fall marked by a specific date on the calendar, or does it start at a particular time on that day?
Fall starts on Sunday, September 22, 2024, in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the autumnal equinox. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), this equinox will occur at 8:44 a.m. EDT on that day.
For those eager for fall, they can wake up early and enjoy their first cozy spiced treat of the season… indoors with the air conditioning on. Here in the 352, we’ll likely continue a slightly cooler version of summer with weekend temperatures topping out around 90, and lows near 70. So, maybe here in Florida we should take our pumpkin spiced latte iced.
