When exactly is Spring?

Astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere begins around March 19–21, at the spring equinox. The live counter above shows exactly how many days, hours, minutes and seconds remain until the next one, worked out in your own time zone.

Astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere begins at the spring (vernal) equinox, around March 19–21, when day and night are nearly equal in length everywhere on Earth.

Spring brings longer days, warmer temperatures and the growing season — and the equinox also determines the date of Easter, which falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the equinox.

Frequently asked questions

When is Spring?

Astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere begins around March 19–21, at the spring equinox.

Are day and night exactly equal at the equinox?

Almost, but not precisely. Because the sun is a disk (not a point) and the atmosphere bends sunlight, the day of exactly 12 hours of daylight — the ’equilux’ — actually occurs a few days before the spring equinox.
