What is Spring?

Spring, the season that cyclically follows winter and precedes summer, is a time of renewal and rejuvenation. It typically spans from March to June in the Northern Hemisphere and from September to December in the Southern Hemisphere. Spring is a season of warmth, the revival of plants and leaves, and the blossoming of flowers. It's a time when nature symbolizes rebirth, reminding us of the cyclical nature of life and the interconnectedness of all living things.

When Is the First Day of Spring?

In the Northern Hemisphere,

• Spring begins around March 20st (vernal equinox). This date marks the official start of spring when day and night are approximately equal in length.
• Spring typically ends around June 21st (summer solstice). This date marks the official start of summer when the days are the longest, and the sun is at its highest point in the sky.

In the Southern Hemisphere, like clockwork,

• Spring typically begins on September 22nd (vernal equinox), the official start of spring when day and night are approximately equal in length.
• Spring ends on December 22nd. This marks the official start of autumn.

Keep in mind that these dates are approximate and can vary slightly from year to year due to the Earth's slightly elliptical orbit around the sun and the tilt of its axis.

How many days is Spring time?

When means Meteorological Spring?

Meteorological spring, a term defined by the expertise of meteorologists and climatologists, refers to the three-month period of March, April, and May in the Northern Hemisphere, and September, October, and November in the Southern Hemisphere.

This practical definition is based on the average temperature and precipitation patterns in each hemisphere, a departure from the astronomical definition of spring, which is based on the position of the Earth in its orbit around the sun.

According to the meteorological calendar, spring is a predictable season, always starting on March 1 and finishing on May 31.

How to calculate the how many days until summer in Excel?

You can also calculate the number of days remaining until Spring using spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel, using a few different formulas.

a. From the Current Date
If you want to find the number of days remaining from the current day, you can use the following function in a cell to calculate that number:

=DATE(2025, 3, 20) - TODAY()

Note that this formula calculates and displays the number of days once you type the formula into a cell and hit Enter.

b. From Any Date
If you want to find the number of days remaining from a specific date listed in another cell, in this case, from a date in cell A1, then you can use the following function to display the number of days remaining from the date displayed in cell A1:

=DATE(2025, 3, 20) - A1

Using these formulas, you can easily calculate the number of days until spring and track the countdown until spring on your Excel spreadsheet.
