Therefore, in order to get a general picture of the future weather, one should not trust one sign, but look at several in the aggregate. This will give you the most accurate information.

A list of autumn signs about animate and inanimate nature.

Autumn is the time of thinkers and philosophers. Indeed, many people think so. But it is also the time of harvest, as well as a sharp change in the weather. Because now the nights are getting longer and the days are getting shorter. If you pay attention to the weather in autumn, you can find out what awaits us in winter, spring, and whether there will be a harvest next year. Thanks to the numerous observations of our ancestors, folk signs have arisen that help predict the weather in certain months, as well as the season.

Folk signs of early and late autumn

Autumn is sung by many classics of world literature, because it is at this time that they can write a lot and inspiration appears. Wise people in addition to harvesting, preparing for winter, they are also attentive to changes weather conditions, precipitation, as well as the behavior of animals. All these signs will help determine exactly what winter, spring, and summer will be like.

Signs are divided into several types:

based on animal behavior. On a change in their mood, as well as color, coat thickness, changes in the skin.
On the change in precipitation. That is, on how much or how little it snows, rain, perhaps hail.
How insects behave.
How does the color of the leaves change (some features of trees, plants).
Observation of the moon, stars, wind, as well as clouds.

The list will take:

If the summer was quite humid, there was a lot of precipitation, and the autumn is very warm, then most likely the winter will be very long and cold.

The snow fell very early, which means that the onset of spring will be quite early.
If the stars are hidden behind the clouds, expect bad weather the next day. If they shine brightly, then tomorrow the weather will be very good.

A lot of mountain ash in the forest suggests that autumn will be rainy, gloomy. In winter there will be a lot of sleet and rain. If there are few mountain ash, then the winter will be dry.

Folk signs of warm and cold autumn

Many of our ancestors have been collecting signs for thousands of years. They are collected mainly thanks to the care of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. One person noticed one event, and the other noticed another. This is how folk signs appeared, which now also do not lose their relevance and are often used by summer residents, as well as people who have a household. They help to determine and predict the weather, better prepare for a cold and snowy winter.

Folk omens in the animate and inanimate nature of the weather in autumn

It is possible to predict the weather, as well as to predict what will happen in winter, next year, not only by the behavior of birds, animals, but also plants. A lot of things can say inanimate nature. These are precipitation, wind, rain or lightning.

The most interesting thing is that it is possible to predict what awaits us next year or in the near future, not only by the weather. Trees or plants, animals also have a lot to say. Leaf fall, as well as a change in wind direction, also means a lot and can predetermine weather conditions further.

If the hen starts to shed its feathers at the very beginning of autumn, the winter will be warm.
If in early autumn the hares are in no hurry to change their gray coat to white, the starlings do not fly away, then most likely the autumn will be protracted, and the winter will be late.

Signs about inanimate nature:

Indian summer

It has long been known that in mid-September - early October there is (after the first cold snap) an increase in temperature. This time is called by the people "Indian summer". During the "Indian summer", warmed by the spring sun, mushrooms crawl out of the ground and plants begin to bloom again. According to the folk calendar, it lasts from September 14 - the day of the Pilot Seeds until September 21 - the day of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God.
Why this phenomenon is called "Indian summer", and not in any other way, is definitely difficult to answer. One can only assume that it is connected with the life and work of a peasant woman. In the second half of September, the field harvesting work ended, and the woman, who was very busy in the field, was a little relieved of hard work and could feel for a while summer rest. The coincidence of such a period household life with periods of relatively warm, pleasant weather, apparently, was the reason for the name "Indian summer". The duration of such a rest for a woman was as short as the periods of return of summer heat. After the "Indian summer" women began to knead and ruffle the hemp, wash it and lay linen, fiddled with canvases and took up the spindle, needlework.

Let's keep up with the majority, because the observations of our ancestors are really unique and largely confirm their correctness.

Complete folk calendar describes in detail the signs that should be taken into account according to each day. Let's try to highlight the main dates, at the same time remember what holidays are celebrated in this period.

The Orthodox Church honors the following dates in the fall:

September 8 (21) - Birth Holy Mother of God. The bees are removed, the Blessed One is welcomed with a loaf and jelly.
September 14 (27) - Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Belief says it's time to take off the caftan and put on the sheepskin coat.

November 15 (November 28) - the beginning of Lent (Christmas). If the snow falls in a thick ball, it will lie until the spring flood.

In addition, there is also the folk calendar of the ancient Slavs, in which each date contains a certain sign. For example, the people celebrated the arrival of golden autumn for September three times:

September 14 - on Simeon the pilot - the first Osenins passed. This day is credited with the beginning of the Indian summer. People thanked mother earth for harvested crop. And the men performed the sacrament of renewing the fire: they burned bonfires and carried the blessed flame to the houses, where the owners fumigated dwellings, cattle, barns and prayed for the preservation of their home from disasters.

September 21 - in parallel with the Nativity of Mother of God, the Slavs celebrated the second Osenins. Beliefs said that every summer comes to an end. In addition, the 21st day of September is the period of the autumnal equinox. Women prayed to the Mother of God, old men taught young lovers wisdom, and a harvest festival was held everywhere.

It was from this moment, according to ancient legends, creeping reptiles (snakes) and flying birds went to the blissful country - Iriy (aka paradise), and people could send news to the dead through them.

And it was also common to arrange skits - to chop cabbage and harvest it for the winter.

And in October, weddings began with the Feast of the Intercession. After all, it’s good to walk when the heat has already gone, and the cold has not yet come, the harvest has been harvested. But many impatient spouses did not wait until October, and wedding celebrations thundered everywhere since the beginning of autumn.

What promises, according to beliefs, a wedding celebrated in the fall, the signs are as follows:

A wedding in September is a calm, measured married life.
