October

October is the tenth month of the year when it’s autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. In Australia, New Zealand and other Southern Hemisphere countries the days are getting longer and things are getting warmer while in the Northern Hemisphere people are watching as the leaves on trees get brown and know the coldest time of the year is just ahead.

The name October originally meant the eighth month in Latin as the Romans started their year in their spring, two months after when we start the New year now.
