when will it be spring 2026

In 2026, spring in the Northern Hemisphere officially begins on Friday, March 20, 2026, at about 10:46 a.m. Eastern Time (around 14:46 UTC).

Quick Scoop: Key Dates

• Astronomical spring 2026 (Northern Hemisphere):
  • Starts: Friday, March 20, 2026.

* Ends: Around Sunday, June 21, 2026.

• Meteorological spring (weather/climate definition):
  • Runs from March 1 to May 31 each year in the Northern Hemisphere.

So depending on which definition you care about:

• If you mean the equinox / official first day : it’s March 20, 2026.
• If you go by meteorological seasons (used by many weather services): spring “feels” like it starts March 1.

From today (February 18, 2026), that’s just about a month until the equinox date for spring 2026.

TL;DR: Spring 2026 starts March 20 by the calendar and equinox, but many people (and meteorologists) treat March 1 as the practical start of springtime.
