When Does Spring Start? It Depends on Your Hemisphere

Spring does not begin in the same month worldwide; it is determined by the Earth's axial tilt and which hemisphere you inhabit.

Northern Hemisphere

In the Northern Hemisphere—encompassing the United States, Europe, and most of Asia—spring typically begins in March. The vernal equinox, occurring around March 20 or 21, marks the astronomical start of the season.

Southern Hemisphere

In the Southern Hemisphere—including Australia, South Africa, and South America—spring arrives in September. The spring equinox there falls around September 22 or 23.

Meteorological definitions may vary slightly (e.g., March 1 for meteorological spring in the north), but the hemispheric divide remains the fundamental factor.
