When does spring start in 2027?
The March equinox starts spring in the Northern Hemisphere on Saturday, March 20, 2027 at 4:24 PM EDT (March 20, 20:24 UTC). The clock counts down to that minute and shows it in your own time zone.
- At the March equinox the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading north, and day and night are close to equal length everywhere.
- Depending on the year and your time zone, the first day of spring falls on March 19, 20 or 21.
- In the Southern Hemisphere the same moment marks the start of autumn.

Frequently asked questions
How many days until spring 2027?

When is the first day of spring 2027?
The first day of spring 2027 is Saturday, March 20, 2027: the March equinox arrives at 4:24 PM EDT, which is March 20, 20:24 UTC.
Does the season start at the same moment everywhere?
Yes. An equinox or solstice is a single instant for the whole planet, so the countdown reaches zero at the same moment for everyone. The date and time it shows are in your own time zone, which is why the first day of a season can be a day apart in the Americas and in Asia.
What is the difference between astronomical and meteorological spring?
Astronomical spring starts at the March equinox, which moves by a few hours each year. Meteorologists use whole months instead: meteorological spring runs from March 1 to May 31, which keeps seasonal weather records comparable.
