You call it "Indian summer", we call it (in German) "Altweibersommer": old crone's summer. Why that?
Over here, in warm and sunny autumn days, newly hatched tiny spiders spin a long silk that carries them through the air. When these silk filaments shimmer in the sunlight, they look like old women's long light hair. That's where the name comes from.
