If you are going to use this measure, wouldn't it mean that in many
recent years autumn wouldn't have begun in the south till the second
half of October?
... yes. In recent years (compared to when I was a nipper), I have had
difficulty in regarding September as an 'autumnal' month.

I September is like March, June and December, they are very fuzzy
months when it comes to the weather that occurs in them.
For instance September, can be generally a extension of the summer, or
it can be the autumn cum-early or it can be summery, starting off like
summer, but gradually slipping into autumn for the final week.
Of course there is an whole spectrum of what a particular month or
season is like.
It is not good to try and generalise what a particular month or season
is like. Obviously the human brain likes to catagorise so that we can
find some order in the universe we live in. But I think there is not a
stereotypical type September or any month or season come to that matter.
It is all very subjective, and we all have our own stereotypes to what
each month or season is like, and whatever anyone says, will be there
own value judgement what a particular month or season is like, that is
not wrong or right, it is just the way each person sees what a month or
season is like.
