With the autumn equinox almost upon us, we thought we’d post this fascinating newspaper story from 1933 about the powerful and mysterious forces behind this tempestuous time of the year.

It’s a very interesting article that helpfully explains just why the period around 20/21 September and 20/21 March are always such stormy times in the year.

There are 100s more stories about the autumn equinox in the archive – just enter the word ‘equinox’ into the search box.
