For a person who says he was still at school in 1992, you shouldn't take on a clinical demeanour. The love of Earth and solar system research (amateur) doesn't require that you are paid money to engage meaningfully in your passion (vocation).

The Elvis video speaks for itself for that is what true researchers feels like when engaging their talents and gifts of expression. It is a protest song and you should listen to the words as it also has the passion of the soul flying above the doctrines of those who would make the world smaller and damaged for self-serving ends.

I don't call people idiotic even if they suffer from inherited falsehoods from one generation to the next with a 'false autumn' just being another worthless phrase conjured into existence.

The insanity of determining Autumn as the motion of the planet's divisor on an Earth with a zero degree inclination is the opposite of solar system and Earth science research which includes weather. No wonder students don't stand a chance of escaping your fate of being inspirationally bankrupt by choice. Unfortunately, you are not alone.

There was a time when men could talk of the seasons, including Autumn, in inspirational/spiritual terms as a journey. Whether it is St Francis who adored life and nature or Ruysbroeck * who put the seasons into terms of human passion as it comes and goes, we are here to serve life of humanity on the planet as opposed to misusing information on the planet to serve dour and dull convictions. People have forgotten how to read observations with heart.

" * When the sun first begins to descend from the zenith to the nadir, it enters the sign which is called Virgo, that is, the Virgin, because now the season becomes unfruitful, as a virgin is. At this time the heat begins to grow less; and men begin to gather in, for use during the rest of the year, those ripe and lasting fruits which can be kept and consumed long afterwards, such as corn and wine and the durable fruits, which have now come to their maturity. And a part of the same corn is sown, so that it be multiplied for the benefit of men. In this season all the work of the sun of the whole year is perfected and fulfilled." Ruybroeck

The world came to appreciate plate tectonics because a meteorologist stepped outside his discipline and put together a narrative that changed the way people looked at the geology of the Earth.

"Scientists still do not appear to understand sufficiently that all earth sciences must contribute evidence toward unveiling the state of our planet in earlier times, and that the truth of the matter can only be reached by combing all this evidence. . . It is only by combing the information furnished by all the earth sciences that we can hope to determine 'truth' here, that is to say, to find the picture that sets out all the known facts in the best arrangement and that therefore has the highest degree of probability. Further, we have to be prepared always for the possibility that each new discovery, no matter what science furnishes it, may modify the conclusions we draw." Alfred Wegener

https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/wegener.html

Perspectives are not arrived at by excluding the incorporation of different disciplines and the Earth science of climate suffers most from this by excluding planetary dynamics. Appealing to moderators to narrow the perspective is self-defeating

By the meteorological calendar, the first day of autumn is always 1 September; ending on 30 November. The seasons are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January, February).

We're on a meteorological thread QED. I'm sure there's a dedicated thread for discussing the seasons, where your posts should be.

You bring this same argument to every thread Orion, obsessive behaviour. For such a creative soul with incredulous imagination you seem to have nothing else in your life bar arguing when seasons begin and end. It's not healthy. You exploded on a meteorology thread, with colourful language, when someone used the term 'British Isles' as a geographical one a while back. Your posts were very coarse and not something you'd forget if read.

Everything you say is complete waffle, Elvis Presley singing If I Can Dream, St. Francis, reading observations with heart (I'll go out and read today's temperature as 30C because my heart wills it)🙄 You're hijacking a lot of threads. It's all very fine to say ignore you but it can be hard when there's a new condescending essay up every time you log into the weather forum.

Criticising people calling them 'intellectually bankrupt', 'dour'. You're not Bob Dylan, Brian Cox, Akiane Kramarik.. You have to know a person before you call them intellectually bankrupt. And at least back it up with some achievements of your own to put you in such an exalted place where you can judge others. Because all I see is an internet forum crank with too much time on his hands.

Sure I can show you an achievement. There is an innovation coming up soon that many are starting to enjoy when they make the effort.

Next month Venus will pass behind the Sun moving from right to left while Mercury will be seen moving from left to right between the slower moving Earth at the central Sun. It is the obverse of what happened in 2013 when Mercury was in direct motion and Venus in retrograde motion-

Just scroll the dates forward and that prediction will come through for those who will enjoy it. It is also new and original as so many others have discovered and enjoy, even in silence.

On a separate note, the Americans will disagree with you that Autumn starts tomorrow, they determine that Autumn/Fall happens on September 22nd-

https://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-fall-autumnal-equinox

At least they combine the season with the orbital position of the Earth and the location of the North/South poles to the planet's divisor, however, they also express the September Equinox in wild observational terms that diminish 21st century society-

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap210922.html

If you are a fan of Cox as the front for Royal Society (empirical) bluffing then I can understand your complaint but the material is for those who understand the Solstice and Equinox points as mid-season including mid-winter on the December Solstice and mid-summer on the June Solstice. There is nothing I haven't seen or heard in my 30 years experience and I am sorry that your reaction is nothing I haven't seen a thousand times before.

You are better served by using your talents and passion to appreciate nature as opposed to convictions inherited from less considerate people. You will enjoy weather and the seasons more along with all the events that come with it.

Grade A waffle.

I'm from a farming background, and continuing to farm, I work closely with and observe nature daily.

Your problem is one of arrogance. You're not half as clever as you think you are.

This is a meteorology forum. The average daytime temperature in mid May is 15c. It is impossible for students of meteorology to consider the month summer. Mid August will have an average daytime high of 20c or above. In meteorological terms August is far more a summer month.

We accept people who use daytime length to determine summer and those who use astronomical dates to determine it.

Maybe you have comprehension problems, or at this stage, i believe, a probable WUM but this is the meteorological forum. To remind you again.

It's difficult to believe in your self proclaimed genius when you can't post in the correct forum. Also the fact that you're banned in the astronomy forum suggests nobody values your 'contributions' there. They're certainly not valued here.

We all feel the onset of summer as May's bright days lengthen. Likewise the mists and mellows that define autumn appear towards the end of August and the days noticeably shorten.

But to collate meteorological information for statistical purposes we need some sort of defined seasons. And they are defined, today is the last day of summer in the British Isles, like it or as you do, lump it.

If we had a world full of Orions running around with their head in the planets singing Brother Sun and Sister Moon basing everything on feelings and heart we'd have no science.

When a new innovation appears and delights the observer, it has little to do with the innovator but the truth behind the innovation-

"When a natural discourse paints a passion or an effect, one feels within oneself the truth of what one reads, which was there before, although one did not know it. Hence one is inclined to love him who makes us feel it, for he has not shown us his own riches, but ours. And thus this benefit renders him pleasing to us, besides that such community of intellect as we have with him necessarily inclines the heart to love." Pascal

The new explanation of the seasons, which includes the present approach of the Earth's North and South poles to the planet's divisor (dividing light and dark hemispheres), is also a meteorological event as well as an astronomical event.

https://www.usap.gov/videoclipsandmaps/spwebcam.cfm

It will be three weeks before the Sun comes into view as the entire surface of the planet turns parallel to the orbital plane and the North/South poles lies on the divisor-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Space_Climate_Observatory#/media/File:EpicEarth-Globespin-tilt-23.4.gif

If you come back around the March Equinox, the daily rotation of the Earth will turn Southwest to Northeast and all these things need a proper narrative and a proper platform to express these things.

I wouldn't be so exercised on account of academics, they couldn't care less about cheerleaders even if they need them. Have some soul for a change and that all nature is appreciated through a balance of perception(heart) and reasoning (head).

The seasonal terms follow the timekeeping principles of AM and PM which are anchored to midday. There is no astronomical midday and meteorological midday and neither is there a meteorological Autumn nor the new rubbish of a false autumn invented to distract from June Solstice or midsummer as the anchor for the seasons and the dynamics behind it.

It is a question as to who values their ability to reason with discipline and integrity.

There is terminology around these parts regarding spring-like days in Jan/Feb that which goes as 'pet days'. I recall my own grandmother used that term a lot and she was of the belief that such pet days were an ominous sign. Spring like weather can and does occur in Winter; Winter like weather can occur in Autumn and Spring. Perhaps what we understand as 'seasons' has no basis in reality as you say, but then, what has really? Every singe word in this post is just a symbol that has no meaning in itself, yet they give you get a rough idea of what I am speaking of regardless.

Younger people suffer from what the poet William Blake called 'Newton's sleep' or the inability to distinguish time from timekeeping and the seasons are very much part of timekeeping. Invented terms conjured out of nothing are the basis of many ills and it all began with an attempt to mesmerise an audience with phrases like absolute/relative time, space and motion-

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/newton-stm/scholium.html

Readers would quickly give up as that is the intention in order to appear as though it is spoken with authority and integrity when it is merely manipulation and bluffing designed to make the reader look inconsequential. What is clockwork solar system modelling is the antecedent to climate change modelling among other things and has become dominant in our era as demonstrated so many times before. It is because I am familiar with all the ancient timekeeping references that I can untangle all the falsehoods acquired up to now including the inability to correlate one rotation with one 24 hour day. For as long as I can remember, I knew I was dealing with a subculture with very specific objectives and self-defending mechanisms.

The Met Eireann forecasters can insist that tomorrow is the first day of meteorological autumn just as people can insist on a false autumn, however, another group of meteorologists will insist the first day of Autumn is on the September Equinox. I do not have that quandary as I follow the proper principles inherited through the ages, even if people have forgotten about them.

The American meteorologists will laugh at the insistence that tomorrow is the beginning of Autumn and declare it a 'false autumn' on that account as theirs begins September 22nd. The two long range threads go out of their way to insist summer is about to end so their quarrel is with the Americans or the Americans with them in a mutual disgrace.

There is no false autumn outside the low level of consideration that the meteorological community give to planetary dynamics which define the seasons across an orbit and if 4 seasons are determined then the midpoints are the Equinox and Solstice milestones. Life rolls on within two cycles of daily and annual motion, whereas the subculture insists that the planet has only daily rotation and the Sun has an annual motion-

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap210922.html

There is only a 'false dawn' around the September Equinox or a false dusk around the March Equinox as we see all celestial phenomena to the left of the Sun as an evening appearance and the right of the Sun as a morning appearance-

https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/everything-you-need-to-know-zodiacal-light-or-false-dawn/

Our ancestors understood all too well that the divisions of the year into seasons, whether the current four seasons or the ancient division of the light half (May-October) and the dark half (November-April), relied on the daylight/darkness cycles as weather is unreliable from year to year, something readers here lack the common sense to accept. These people were farmers too, and they could build monuments with wonderful features to mark the annual milestones, including the division of what is now November to February (Samhain to Imbolc) with midwinter on the December Solstice-

That is the island's heritage displaying creativity and discipline for timekeeping while today's yokels can't manage to correlate one rotation with one sunrise/noon/sunset cycle let alone handle the seasonal cycle.

Life rolls on indeed, but we are built into these cycles as participants and not unreliable observers.

Orion402

The Met Eireann meteorologist gave an extended explanation as to why this is the first day of meteorological autumn as opposed to a false autumn in August by asserting that the construct is organised around the warmest months. This flawed reasoning would set up a silly notion of meteorological v astronomical noon as thermal responses put the warmest part of the day as 2PM-4PM whereas midday, like midsummer, is a specific event based on dynamics that centres the middle of the day at noon and the middle of summer on the June Solstice.

It is perceptual weakness that creates monstrosities like climate change modelling, a growing type of autism in society which is increasingly separated from cause and effect as it actually exists. When shown how academics choose to explain the seasons by manipulating imaging as an assault on the eyes and mind, there seems to be no pushback and that is remarkable and a poor sign-

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap210922.html

Maybe some day, the same meteorologists will inform society about meteorological noon, just as they now conjure false autumn or meteorological autumn into existence.

May I ask, Orion, what your definition of the seasons are? As much as you have written on the subject, this is still not clear to me.

Orion402

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119556595#Comment_119556595

I deal with the cause of seasonal changes and that includes the thermal responses of the atmosphere, landmass and oceans to the underlying causes found in the daily and annual motions of the Earth. There are specific milestones that mirror the daily rotational traits hence the constraints applied and the lack of room to conjure up unproductive definitions like 'false autumn' or 'meteorological autumn'.

In this respect, I do not see silence among readers, I see either a lack of responsibility or a growing type of autism which is even more disturbing, after all, the NASA explanation for the seasons seen from space surpasses a flat Earth projection by many magnitudes. There is nothing difficult in determining the dynamical cause of the seasons because it can be visibly affirmed through observations of the other planets and especially Uranus-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=612gSZsplpE&t=48s

The dark hemisphere of the planet is absent so it is possible to discern two surface rotations acting in combination, the same ones operating on the surface of the Earth. Come to appreciate those two surface rotations and the seasons define themselves so not being capable of interpreting them properly is an internal failure of the people viewing it and, once again, the main thing is that it is not even difficult.

That's a politician's answer if ever I saw one 🤣

You were asked to define the seasons, how many we have in Ireland, when they begin and end.

I'm going to ask another question. Are you retired (seen as you think being 16 in 1992 is very young) or if working what is your career? Given the sources you quote you seem well read. Can you apply your knowledge to a paying career? Or is this just a hobby and you equally excel in some other field?

Orion402

" You were asked to define the seasons, how many we have in Ireland, when they begin and end."

I normally deal with the cause of seasonal changes as a point of departure for proper climate research and that means dealing with technical issues back 500 years ago. Although the cause of the seasons is fairly straightforward, untangling less productive approaches or the downright vandalism of clockwork solar system modellers is complicated insofar as terms like 'false autumn' or 'meteorological autumn' are products of undisciplined minds as is climate change modelling.

Just for you, if you have quite finished with your reactions. The explanation is done as the observers would have seen it without the need to appeal to planetary dynamics while using the modern calendar for familiarity and convenience.

The farmers in Ireland 6,000 years ago broke the year into a light half and a dark half with Samhain ('darker half' in Gaelic) beginning the new year, while the beginning of May represented the light half for the following 6 months. Although it is called the calendar of the Celts, it is many, many centuries older going back to the first farmers after the end of the ice age.

As Samhain begins the new year with the declination of the Sun towards its smallest arc on the December Solstice, the first ancient alignments were not just towards Samhain at the beginning of November but also towards the beginning of February as the Sun noticeably increases its arc in Spring three months later-

Having established a three month period from November to February, the midpoint is the December Solstice with a very precise alignment of Newgrange that would not work at any other time of the year as the declination is too rapid to have an elaborate roofbox and the other components of that amazing spectacle.

Having determined that the Solstice alignment is the midpoint of the seasons, it extends to all other seasonal Solstice/Equinox milestones by default and meshes neatly with the light and dark halves of the year.

The rest of the stuff about career and salary is quaint as some human endeavours such as musical composition come as a vocation so it is exercised as a gift or a talent. All people have talents to be inspired or inspiring but choose to play safe so lose their God-given ability to influence wider society as individuals.

The old traditions on the island were both exact and colourful so your reaction is typical of a growing disconnect between you as a human participating in the great cycles and the narrow perspectives you inhabit.

https://sligowalks.ie/carrowmore-a-mystical-place-at-samhain/

Thanks to these people who at least try to appreciate what we inherit in the landscape as annual timekeeping markers. The seasons themselves are the same as the daily timekeeping markers in some respects with special attention to thermal responses after midday and midsummer.

The idea that a witch governs the Sun from Samhain until Brigid recovers the Sun in February reflects the Southern declination of the Sun in November matched with the Northern declination in February as daylight lengths really start to gather pace as both November and February share the same alignment. So now readers know how our ancestors divided the seasons by light and dark halves while the planetary milestones of the Solstices and Equinoxes acted as midpoints if 4 divisions are chosen, in this case, Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine and Lughnasa.

Orion402

" Consider me one who proudly does live with their head in the clouds and I need things explained to me on that level. Anything below that and my mind just registers it as extreme, unnecessary dullness."

That is more or less a description of a subculture so all the visual explaining is likely to go nowhere insofar as disturbing people with their heads in the clouds is quite painful for them and gets worse with each succeeding generation as the joyless reactions received in this thread demonstrates.

Anticipating events based on cyclical weather coincident with cyclical dynamics should be a foundation first and foremost as opposed to predicting individual events like upcoming storms or heatwaves. Of course you register this as extreme dullness, nevertheless, students would be proud to appreciate how climate and cyclical weather are anchored in planetary dynamics while enjoying and using short term weather predictions as I do.

Disturbing the notions of astronomical autumn, meteorological autumn, false autumn and so on will register as extreme dullness to those who invent those unnecessary terms while it is rare that those surveying the heritage of this island will enjoy the reasons why our ancestors divided the year into a light/dark halves while retaining the four divisions of Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine and Lughnasa within that framework.

Anticipation is associated with hope, whereas dire predictions are an awful strain on humanity when framed as a false narrative (climate change modelling).

The BBC meteorologist announced that today is the beginning of astronomical autumn on the Equinox so that would make the beginning of winter on the December Solstice. Many complaints that planetary dynamics does not belong in a meteorology forum would seem hypocritical considering what a mess such a perspective would have between the motions of the planet and cyclical weather such as the seasons.

The sense of occasion may be lost, including the wonderful alignment at Loughcrew, Co Meath when the Sun shines directly into the monument along with other alignments at Knowth and perhaps many other places. My own personal favourite in Clogherhead, Co Louth-

https://imgur.com/8wx48U4

There are specific milestones which make the summer Solstice or midsummer on June 21st as the anchor for all the other seasons as this is when the North pole is at midday or noon, just as daily rotation places noon when a location is midway to the planet's divisor. After these two events, temperatures continue to rise as a signature of people who appreciate the daily and seasonal divisions properly.
