This year fall begins in the northern hemisphere on September 23. Is this the fault of climate change? :-)

I seem to remember the seasons tended to shift around the 20th or 21st of the month. I was lulled out of my thinking to learn that because the equinoxes and solstices are based on solar/lunar cycles they can shift.
Since the seasons are reversed between Northern and Southern hemispheres, I have long been curious about what happens at the equator - granted it tends to be very warm all year long at many places on the equator so it probably makes no difference to those living there. :-)
[Update] I originally posted this in humor; but, since all of the responses so far have been serious I added astronomy.

It was Thursday, 27 Aug. I stepped out of the house that morning at 0400 and the first thing that hit me was - Summer's over, fall's here. Every year it's a different day, but the feel and smell is the same. There is always something in the air for me, and I'm usually right. Yes, there will be warm days after that "feeling", but the summer heat is gone from the sun. Maybe it comes from the years I worked in the wilderness area and became so tuned in with the weather and nature.
