Well get them out again. Temperatures from Sunday are being forecast as 28C to 25C all week. Just when we thought summer was over we have an "Indian summer" Technically according to Carole of the BBC meteo one needs a frost before you can call it an Indian summer.
Today in France the 21st is classed as the start of autumn because it marks the time when nights start to be longer than days - the autumnal equinox.
An equinox occurs twice a year (around 20 March and 22 September), when the plane of the Earth's equator passes the centre of the Sun. At this time the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun.The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, night and day are about equal length.
