It's strange, this is the first year I have heard conflicting dates for the first day of Autumn!?! Today I heard it is 1st September and then again: https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/01/first-da ... -10665132/ :eh:

Why not? I do not see anything odd, the Queen has two birthdays! Nothing in this world is Black and White or straightforward.

It is nothing new, I have always known that Autumn starts on 1st Sept and the Autumn equinox is later in the month.

My expat friends in Australia celebrate Christmas by hiring a cabin in the ski resorts and cooking a full turkey dinner. In June.
