This is a matter of opinion as there are different ways of designating the seasons. Astronomical fall starts on the equinox late in the month, meteorological fall starts September 1. The actual fall starts when the weather patterns change.

The long days of summer are unfortunately behind us. Students are back in school, and the sun is setting noticeably earlier but not yet too early. People don't normally take summer vacations in September. Summer camps are closed for kids. Summer activities have mostly come to an end. It is one of the most quiet months for travel. People have already traveled for summer if they are going to and have not yet traveled for snow(or avoiding it) or for the holidays. It is also the first month of football.

However, when I hear of someone having a September birthday, I mentally categorize it as summer. It can also still get very hot in September and it is the most active month for hurricanes in the Atlantic. It is still pool season here in Florida. The weather is still nice and hot. It is the time of year that college students do their "fall beach retreats" and rushing Greek organizations. It is also the month where students often have a first exam or assignment that forces them to get focused. If my memory serves me correctly, the first few days of school are easy as you can slack.

I start feeling the summer vibe decline in late July, but I have also felt it in early October. September is the month of the year that sees that biggest decline in daylight.
