Episode Details

Spring has officially begun in the Northern Hemisphere with the vernal equinox on March 20, 2026, at 7:46 a.m. Eastern time. This marks the start of astronomical spring and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, when day and night are almost equal in length. The equinox occurs due to Earths tilt and orbit around the sun, which usually favors one hemisphere with more sunlight. However, twice a year, the Earth, sun, and equator align, resulting in equal daylight hours. In the U.S., earlier sunrises and later sunsets are noticeable, with meteorological spring starting on March 1 and astronomical spring tied to Earths path around the sun. Recent heatwaves have led to speculation about skipping spring, but the Farmers Almanac predicts warmer-than-average temperatures across most of the U.S. this season, with cooler spots expected in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountains. As days lengthen and warmth spreads, observe the shifting sun patterns as a sign of the seasons progression.
