For us it’s any considerably warm spell after that first hard frost. We didn’t really have it this year- it’s been consistently cool and wet this fall.

Thank you William for that information. I’m sorry your autumn has been so wet.
I always thought it was warmer weather in early autumn i.e September or October (northern hemisphere or here “Down Under” late May or even early June though this year we had a very cold June in Perth by our standards!). So I have been enlightened thanks! I have heard from my relatives about the unusually warm weather they’ve been having – 22 degrees in London on Hallowe’en and even up north in Yorkshire 20 degrees (my dad was in shirtsleeves when I Skyped him)! It must be lovely – hope the winter isn’t too cold or the spring (we shall be over in the UK and Germany then!) 🙂

Yes we are wondering what the winter will bring. It was mild last year and very cold the year before.
Very interesting post. I didn’t know that in the indian summer the days are hazy. Here in the USA, the atmosphere is not hazy or smoky in the indian summer, on the contrary it’s extremely clear and beautiful.

One day I will go to the US and Canada for the autumn and experience all those wonderful colours.
Verão do Stº Martinho, the same, first or second week of November for as long as anyone remembers
So it’s known in Portugal as well!!
