  1. indian summer

    Indian summer is a term commonly used to refer to a period of unusually warm, dry weather that often occurs in autumn, especially in October and November, in the Northern Hemisphere. It typically happens after the leaves have turned following an onset of frost but before the first snowfall. The exact cause is unknown, but it is often associated with high pressure systems. The term originated in North America and is believed to be derived from Native Americans' practice of using this extended warm period to secure their winter food supplies.
