Fall

Autumn (or fall) in the is a season that starts on September 1 and ends on November 25. In the Southern Hemisphere in, autumn starts on March 1 and ends on May 25.

Autumn consists of a mixture of clear, sunny days and some patches of rain. By November 26 / May 26, snow will begin to fall, marking the beginning of winter. In, thunderstorms will dissipate around September, giving way for regular rain.

In September / March, (specifically the 8th in ) trees will begin to turn from bright green to a dull, musky green. In October / April (the 17th in ), trees will then turn a bright orange/brown color. Grass follows the same color pattern as trees. By the end of the season, the ground, trees, and clover all change to a dull brown color. Dandelions will disappear until next summer.

Insects and rarer fish start to disappear, being replaced with cheaper fish and insects such as the Pike and Monarch butterfly, making autumn one of the more quiet seasons in the series, rivaled by winter.
