Spring has sprung: Monday marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere
Monday marked the spring equinox — at least for those in the Northern Hemisphere.As the Earth travels around the sun, it does so at an angle.. That means the sun's warmth and light fall unequally on the northern and southern halves of the planet.
The word equinox comes from two Latin words meaning equal and night. That’s because on the equinox, day and night last almost the same amount of time — though one may get a few extra minutes, depending on where you are on the planet. The Southern Hemisphere will see the opposite: Days will keep getting shorter as this half of the planet heads out of summer and into autumn., this spring is expected to bring wet weather that will continue to ease drought conditions in the western parts of the country. Melting snowpack may also bring flood risks in the Midwest.
