(The only place this doesn’t hold true is near the North and South poles, where the sun is either rising or setting for the first time in six months.) For the West Coast, Rockies and northern Plains, temperatures this spring may end up close to the long-term average. After the summer solstice, the sun’s position in the sky retreats south, and the days will get shorter again. In [Anchorage](https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/anchorage?month=3), the sun spends at least 5½ additional minutes above the horizon with each passing day. Near the equator, the sun is up for 12 hours 6 minutes, while Earth’s polar regions see about 12 hours 20 minutes of daylight. The date of the “equilux” — when sunrise and sunset are closest to 12 hours apart — occurs a few days before the equinox, on March 16 or 17 for most of the Lower 48 states. On the spring and autumnal equinoxes, however, both hemispheres receive [equal amounts](https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/news/earth-orbit-vernal-equinox) of the sun’s energy. This optical illusion allows us to see the sun at sunrise and sunset when it’s technically below the horizon. [tilted on its axis](https://www.weather.gov/images/cle/Education/EarthOrbit.png) by about 23.5 degrees, the Northern and Southern hemispheres receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year. For areas north of about 37°N, today is the equilux. It’s the first day of astronomical spring in North America, Europe and Asia, while in the Southern Hemisphere, summer is transitioning to autumn. Eastern time, signals the end of winter and first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Those flowers and plants that have started sprouting will be able to get to work this week as temperatures will be back around the seasonal average.

But until then, Frazier said spring will bring with it a couple days of sunshine. April showers will get a bit of a head start with rain possibly starting Wednesday and becoming more likely Thursday into Friday, Frazier said. National Weather Service meteorologist Jason Frazier said the average high temperature this time of year is 51 degrees.

The average last frost in Worcester, for example, is April 24. In fact, four of the last five years have seen above-normal temperatures as we ushered in the new season. That being said, now isn't the time to go out and plant your garden just yet. This also means the sun will rise due east and set due west Monday. This is the exact moment when the sun crosses the celestial equator going south to north. The official start of astronomical spring occurs with the vernal equinox at 5:24 p.m.

The first day of spring in Kansas City will bring 60-degree weather conditions, a welcomed change after a weekend that saw bitterly cold wind chills.

The bulk of rainfall from these storms are likely to occur across central to eastern Missouri. Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected Tuesday through Friday. That just missed the record coldest high temperature for March 18 of 26 degrees, set in 1965,

Winter 2022-23 was “complicated” and spring feels less “confident,” but that's life sometimes.

Yes, in the predawn hours it felt like a withering winter was trying too late to hang on.

There were long stretches of [mild weather](https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/weather/2023/02/lehigh-valley-weather-january-breaks-temperature-record.html). The land around [Columcille Megalith Park](https://www.columcille.org/) was waking up. “Normally the coming of springtime is after a long wait, a long, biting cold of winter with a hard-packed, frost-bitten soil,” said Emma Ackerman, a board member of Columcille Megalith Park who led Monday morning’s dawn observance.

And sunsets will continue to happen later in the day. At the equator, an equinox results in about 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night, according to NASA. The March equinox marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere -- but it’s also the first day of fall for those south of the equator.

NEW YORK -- Spring has sprung! Monday marked the spring equinox — at least for those in the Northern Hemisphere. But what does that actually mean?

Much of the southern and eastern U.S. According to the U.S. The spring — or vernal — equinox can land on March 19, 20 or 21, depending on the year. Solstices, when the Earth sees its strongest tilt toward or away from the sun, kick off summer and winter. For most of the year, the Earth’s axis is tilted either toward or away from the sun. The word equinox comes from two Latin words meaning equal and night.

The word equinox comes from two Latin words meaning equal and night.

The first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere varies from year to year, since the day it begins is determined by the spring equinox.

Then, in September, when the Northern Hemisphere experiences the autumn equinox, it is the spring equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. During an equinox, which in Latin translates to “equal night,” both day and night are equal. It doesn’t take the Earth a perfect 365 days to make a complete revolution around the sun, which is why the equinox doesn’t take place on the same day every year, according to Time and Date. The spring equinox happens in March for places in the Northern Hemisphere but marks the start of autumn for those located in the Southern Hemisphere. Equinoxes occur twice a year, in March and September, to mark the onset of spring and autumn.

For those north of the equator, the spring days will keep stretching longer until the summer solstice in June.
