Welcoming the Australian Summer: The September Equinox
On September 22, 2024, at 4:43 pm, the Australian summer season will officially begin, marking the start of a period characterized by dry heat, occasional rain, and the formation of tropical depressions. This time of year also brings an abundance of delicious fruits, including lychees and longans.
Astronomically speaking, the equinox is defined as a period when day and night are almost equal in length. This phenomenon occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in a brief moment of balance between light and darkness.
Following the equinox, the days will gradually become longer than the nights, a trend that will continue until the summer solstice on December 21, 2024. This date marks the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere, after which the days will slowly begin to shorten, losing a minute of daylight each day until the next equinox.
