I just found out that spring in the United States has only recently begun: it was exactly on Friday, March 20th at 10:46 a.m. (Eastern Time). It's a bit strange that it’s not always on the same day, right? It turns out that when spring begins in the U.S. depends on the equinox, which can fall between March 19th and 21st depending on the year.

The interesting thing is that at that moment, day and night are almost the same length because the Sun crosses the Earth's equator. After that, the hours of daylight start to gradually increase until June. While reading about this, I discovered there are two ways to count the seasons: the astronomical (the equinox-based) and the meteorological (which starts on March 1st). Quite confusing if you ask me.

Overall, spring will last about 92 days, ending around June 20th or 21st when summer begins. Some regions are already experiencing mild temperatures, but in other states, there are still cold fronts. When spring begins in the U.S., it’s supposedly the moment when nature awakens. Have you already noticed the weather changing where you live?
