Spring Season Weather
Astronomical spring begins on the vernal equinox, which occurs on or around March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere and September 22 in the Southern Hemisphere. On this specific day, the Earth’s axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun. This positioning results in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness worldwide. From this point forward, the hemisphere tilting toward the sun experiences longer days and increased solar radiation, which drives seasonal warming. Meteorological Spring
The old adage "April showers bring May flowers" is rooted in meteorological truth. As the ground warms, moisture evaporates more quickly into the atmosphere. This rising warm air creates convective showers and prolonged periods of steady rain, which are essential for waking dormant plant life. Severe Storms and Tornadoes spring season weather
