Spring

The vernal equinox takes place in March every year and marks the beginning of spring for those living in the northern hemisphere, north of the Equator. During this moment, the amount of daylight and darkness is nearly the same in length. Following the equinox, days get longer and climates in the northern hemisphere get warmer.
