Autumn begins tonight at 02:05 — first day 12 hours 7 minutes
The autumnal equinox marks the season change; in Skopje the first autumn day will be 12 hours 7 minutes with a high near 23°C.
Autumn in the country and across the Northern Hemisphere begins tonight at 02:05 a.m. At the same moment, the Southern Hemisphere will enter spring.
What the equinox means
The first day of autumn is the 266th day of the year and will last 12 hours and 7 minutes. In Skopje the sun will rise at 06:22 and set at 18:30. There are 99 days left until the end of the year.
The seasonal change is marked by the autumnal equinox — the instant when, as seen from Earth, the Sun crosses the celestial equator and appears to move toward the southern hemisphere.
After the equinox, the Northern Hemisphere enters a period of gradually shortening days and lengthening nights. This trend continues until the winter solstice in December.
According to meteorologists, the morning of the first day of autumn will be clear and colder, followed by sunny conditions with small to moderate local clouds. The maximum temperature is expected to reach up to 23 degrees Celsius.
