I just remembered that the spring equinox recently occurred in the United States, it was on March 20th at 10:46 a.m. (Eastern Time). And well, how long spring lasts is something I had never really calculated, but it turns out to be approximately three months, about 92 days and 17 hours to be exact.



It's interesting because at this point in the year, the change is already quite noticeable. The days are getting longer, temperatures are rising, and everything starts to bloom. Here in April, you see people outside doing activities, totally different from a month ago when it was still cold.

What I found interesting is that the length of spring depends on exactly when the equinox occurs, and that’s not always on the same day because the Gregorian calendar doesn’t perfectly match the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the Sun. That’s why some years it can start on the 19th, 20th, or 21st of March depending on the time zone. Anyway, spring will end on June 20th when summer begins. Meanwhile, let’s enjoy these months when everything reactivates, both nature and people coming out of their houses.
