In New England, at least one killing frost and preferably a substantial period of normally cool weather must precede this warm spell in order for it to be considered a true Indian summer. It does not occur every year, and in some years there may be two or three Indian summers. The term is most often heard in the northeastern United States, but its usage extends throughout English-speaking countries. It dates back at least to 1778, but its origin is not certain; the most probable suggestions relate it to the way that the American Indians availed themselves of this extra opportunity to increase their winter stores. The comparable period in Europe is termed the Old Wives’ summer, and, poetically, may be referred to as halcyon days. In England, dependent upon dates of occurrence, such a period may be called St. Martin's summer, St. Luke's summer, and formerly All-hallown summer. 4, record 7, English, - Indian%20summer

Puisque l'été des Indiens n'est pas réellement scientifique, mais plutôt populaire, les critères ne sont pas vraiment établis. On considère que l'on vit un été des Indiens lorsque : la période de temps exceptionnellement chaud suit une période de gel; le temps est généralement ensoleillé; il n'y a pas ou peu de précipitations; les vents sont légers, de direction variable; il peut y avoir un peu de brouillard matinal; les températures nocturnes sont près des normales; les températures diurnes sont plus élevées que la normale (environ 4 à 6 degrés de plus); ces conditions doivent se poursuivre pendant au moins 3 jours. 8, record 7, French, - %C3%A9t%C3%A9%20des%20Indiens

Dans plusieurs pays d'Europe, on retrouve des périodes analogues à l'été des Indiens (i.e. ayant à peu près les mêmes critères). Ces périodes portent toutes des noms faisant allusion à un élément culturel, religieux ou folklorique. Dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent, on parle donc de l'été des Indiens ou de l'été des Sauvages. En France et dans les pays d'Europe occidentale en général, on parle aussi de l'été de la St-Denis (9 octobre), été de la St-Géraud (13 octobre) ou été de la St-Martin (11 novembre). Une légende suédoise parle de l'été de la Toussaint qui se produit à la fin octobre ou au début novembre et qui est du temps chaud et ensoleillé, accompagné de brume sèche. En Angleterre, en plus d'avoir adopté l'expression américaine, on appelle aussi été de la Saint-Luc (18 octobre), une période de temps beau et calme. En Allemagne, on le nomme l'été de l'aïeule. Finalement, en Europe centrale, on parle du old wives'summer (été des bonnes femmes) qui se produit vers la fin septembre. 8, record 7, French, - %C3%A9t%C3%A9%20des%20Indiens
