Autumn

Autumn (also known as fall) is one of four seasons in the Animal Crossing series. In the northern hemisphere, autumn starts on the September 1^st and ends on November 25^th. In the southern hemisphere, introduced since New Horizons, autumn starts on March 1^st and ends on May 25^th.

During autumn, the trees begin to change color to an orange-brown, and the color of the grass becomes duller. In addition, insects and some rarer fish begin to disappear, making it one of the quiet seasons in the series, rivaled only by winter.

Below is a list of events found in autumn. It contains what happens in each event, what game the event happens in, and when the event happens.

Weather[]

The weather in autumn consists of a mixture of clear, sunny days, and little rain. Snow will begin to fall from the sky towards the end of November/May, but won't begin to settle until early December/June, when winter officially starts.

In September/March, trees will begin to lose their bright green color by turning a dull, musky green. In October (April in the Southern Hemisphere), the trees will then turn a bright orange/brown color. Grass follows the same pattern as trees, by turning a dull green color in September/March, then a pink/orange in October (April), and even a shade of dull purple/gray as the months progress. Weeds also start to lose their color, and dandelions will cease to exist until next summer and/or spring. The trees will often gradually change color than rather it being an instant process.
