Indian Summer

Indian Summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that occurs in autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. The U.S. National Weather Service defines this as weather conditions that are sunny and clear with above normal temperatures, occurring late September to mid November Indian Summer normally occurs after a killing frost. 


The term Indian Summer has been found to be used as early as 1778 in a letter by a Frenchman. 
Indian Summer was first noted in regions inhabited by Native American or Indians. The Native Americans also described it to Europeans when speaking of the warm and hazy conditions in autumn when Native Americans hunted. 







Indian Summer is one of my favorite times of year. The beauty with warm days and cool nights are perfect for bonfires and enjoying friends as well.

  9. I think it's amazing, it's nice that they have this kind of weather in the middle of Autumn. It's lovely to have this kind of weather and just enjoy being able to go outside and stay in during the night. I love the colors!

  10. That's a pretty awesome story for the origin of the term. I would love to experience this season. Fall is normally spent somewhere cold and this would be a nice change to that.

  12. When I went home to NJ a few weeks ago we had the chance to bonfire. While I'm not a fan of cooler weather, it was fun to hang out with friends I hadn't seen in awhile.
