Autumn in the UAE starts this Wednesday: Seven signs of the season changing

## Official Start of Autumn

Autumn officially begins in the UAE at 4:05 am on Wednesday, September 23, marking the autumnal equinox when day and night are nearly equal. However, meteorologists often consider September as the start of autumn due to temperature changes.

## Seasonal Indicators

In the UAE, autumn is signaled by various unique markers rather than falling leaves. One popular sign is the arrival of pumpkin spice lattes, which have become synonymous with the season. Additionally, the weather becomes more bearable, allowing residents to enjoy outdoor activities without the intense summer heat.

## Natural Phenomena

Morning fog becomes a common sight due to high humidity and cooling nights, creating a misty atmosphere over highways and city skylines. This period also sees the return of migratory birds, including flamingos, to the UAE's wetlands, offering a spectacle for bird watchers.

## Reopening of Attractions

Autumn is also marked by the reopening of popular attractions like Global Village, which resumes on October 14, and other outdoor venues such as Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Safari Park. These attractions had closed during the summer months due to extreme heat.

## Weather Changes

While rain is not immediate, clouds start appearing from mid-October, with rainfall increasing as the season progresses. The days gradually shorten, with earlier sunsets and cooler evenings, signaling the transition into the cooler months.
