Höstsäsong

Höstsäsong refers to the autumn season, typically spanning from September to November in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a period characterized by a significant transition in weather, with temperatures gradually decreasing and daylight hours shortening. This season is often associated with the changing colors of leaves on deciduous trees, turning from green to shades of yellow, orange, and red before they fall.

Agriculturally, höstsäsong is a time for harvesting many crops, including root vegetables, apples, and grains. Farmers prepare fields for winter, and the gathering of produce is a central activity. In many cultures, harvest festivals and celebrations take place during this period, marking the culmination of the growing season.

Meteorologically, autumn weather can be varied. It often brings cooler air masses, increased rainfall, and a higher likelihood of wind and storms compared to the summer months. The transition from the warmth of summer to the cold of winter is a defining characteristic of höstsäsong. The term is also used more broadly to refer to the start of a new period or cycle, such as the beginning of a school year or a sports season.
