Spring Arrives Sooner Than You Imagine—Do You Know When? Spring is one of nature’s most anticipated seasons, bringing warmer weather, blooming flowers, and fresh beginnings. But if you’ve ever wondered when spring actually arrives, you’re not alone. Many people assume spring begins on the same date every year—March 20 or 21 (the fall equinox or spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere)—but the truth is, spring is arriving earlier every year. ### Why Spring Feels Earlier Each Year Climate change is reshaping seasonal patterns, and spring is among the most noticeably shifting seasons. Thanks to rising global temperatures, spring now begins about 10 to 14 days earlier in many regions compared to just a few decades ago. This delay in winter’s grip and earlier onset of warmer days create a subtle but significant shift that affects everything from gardening to wildlife behavior.
