Interesting folk signs of autumn

Our folk ancestors helped us to determine whether the next year would be productive, what kind of weather to expect in winter or spring. Modern people have lost the ability to independently forecast the weather, as they monitor climate changes and events in nature mainly thanks to news. But in each autumn month you can see your own peculiarities and, using knowledge about signs, get information about the weather for the coming days and months.

Folk signs of autumn in September

September, as a rule, is the month of the beginning of the leaf fall. And this traditional feature can be used in your observations. Many folk signs of September are dedicated to the fall of foliage. For example, if leaf fall has started early, it foreshadows premature cooling and early winter arrival. But if the leaves began to fall late, it was thought that the coming year would be heavy, the winter would be very cold and protracted. Great cold promised and a fast falling leaves. At the end of the month, look at the birches and aspens. If they do not fully fly, the next year will be rich for harvest. But the remaining leaves on the cherry are a sign of a thaw. Since in ancient times it was important for people to know the forecasts for the next year's crop, even such a folk sign appeared, depending on how the leaf was laid down. If it fell upside down, then it served as a good sign, and if on the contrary, then do not wait for the harvest.

Folk signs of autumn in October

October is a month of mud and rains, birds start jumping to the south. These familiar to all signs of autumn can serve as a bad or good sign. For example, if the birds flew to the Feast of the Intercession (it is celebrated on October 14), the peasants knew that soon the autumn would decline and give way to winter. If the migratory birds did not hurry to leave their native land, the warm weather will last all autumn. Flight of the swans meant snow falling in the near future, and the shoals of geese stretching to the south are long rains. Even dirt on the roads was a kind of sign. For example, from the first appearance of dirt counted 4 weeks, and the fallen date was considered to be the beginning of winter.

Folk signs of autumn in November

This month and now is considered the time of completion of the autumn season. On the first day of November, it is common to evaluate the crown of trees. If there are leaves left, then we should expect a bad crop, the next year will be hungry. November 9 - a holiday of the winter Matrona, if it turns out to be foggy, then the winter will be warm, and if this day is already hoarfrost on trees and houses, it will be fierce. The middle of November (and more precisely, November 14) determined whether the oats would grow. The more frost that fell on this day, the richer the results of sowing were assumed. But the snow or rain on the day of Ivan the Most Gracious (November 25) reported that it is still far from the serious cold.
