Spring in 2026 starts on Friday, March 20, 2026 in the Northern Hemisphere, based on the astronomical definition (spring equinox).

Quick Scoop: When is Spring?

If by “soring” you meant “spring,” then here’s how it works.

  • Astronomical spring 2026 (Northern Hemisphere):
    • Starts at the spring (vernal) equinox
    • Date and time: March 20, 2026, 14:46 UTC (which is 10:46 a.m. EDT in New York).
  • Meteorological spring (Northern Hemisphere):
    • Based on calendar months and temperature records, not the Sun’s exact position.
    • Runs from March 1 to May 31 every year.
  • Southern Hemisphere:
    • Astronomical spring begins at the September equinox , around September 22–23, 2026.
* Meteorological spring is **September 1 to November 30**.

Simple example

If you’re in North America or Europe in 2026 and asking “when is spring,” most calendars will treat March 20, 2026 as the official first day of spring (astronomical), but weather services may already call it spring starting March 1, 2026.

TL;DR:

  • “Official” (astronomical) spring 2026 in the Northern Hemisphere: March 20, 2026.
  • Weather/statistics “spring”: March 1–May 31, 2026.
