Definition

Autumn is the seasonal environment moving from summer toward winter, with changes in temperature, light, and vegetation varying by region. It does not determine a country, culture, holiday, clothing, or weather.

In more detail

Lower sunlight, changing leaves, or drier ground can be used when needed, but they do not look the same in every region. Season is distinct from regional customs or events.

Variability

Autumn appearance varies with latitude, region, vegetation, and weather, so it is not fixed to one landscape.
