There are quite divisive differences between Met Éireann's meteorological calendar and the traditional Irish calendar.

According to Ireland's national weather forecaster, the autumn months are comprised of September, October, and November.

However, the Irish traditional calendar categorises August 1st as the start of autumn, with the summer months consisting of May, June, and July.
