When is the first day of Spring in 2025 happening?

Spring will last from March 20 until June 21, when Summer officially starts in 2025

What is the Spring Equinox

The Spring Equinox is also called the Vernal or March Equinox. It happens when the Sun heads north and crosses the equator line.

When this happens, the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth starts to tilt more towards the Sun, which results in longer and warmer days.

In short, Spring Equinox marks the arrival of the Spring Season in the United States.

The weather during spring is particularly pleasant. Flowers and plants are in full bloom.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the Vernal Equinox signals the start of Autumn, as it gets tilted away from the Sun.

During the equinox, the day, and night are nearly the same lengths, approximately 12 hours long each.

The change happens at this point when the days become longer and nights become shorter.

The end of Spring is signaled by the Summer Solstice, which takes place in June, and marks the arrival of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
