In Pictures: Nature changes palette as astronomical autumn begins
Starting with today’s equinox, the new autumn season will run until December 21.
The UK has been enjoying a spectacular autumn show as the change of seasons brought a host of new colours to enjoy in nature.
While a hint of summer remains across parts of the UK with temperatures still high for the time of year, today is officially the start of astronomical autumn, which is defined by the Earth’s axis and orbit around the Sun. It will end on December 21.
