Spring equinox means the first official day of spring is here. Discover the science and traditions of what’s also called the vernal equinox..
For those of us who approach things by the Goldilocks Principle , spring equinox is practically perfect. Along with the fall equinox, this is when we get that glorious balance of daytime and nighttime all over the world – from the steamy equator to the frigid poles – with just about 12 hours of each. No one goes through the extremes like you see with the winter solstice or summer solstice. In 2024, spring equinox is either on Tuesday, March 19, or Wednesday, March 20.
But since the winter solstice three months ago in December, you’ve probably noticed that our days have been getting longer in the Northern Hemisphere and the nights shorter. And now here we are at the spring equinox! Going forward, the Northern Hemisphere will be more exposed to the sun than the Southern Hemisphere. That’s why it gets increasingly warmer as we head toward the summer solstice in June.
