When does spring start?

Astronomically, spring starts around the March equinox. This tool uses an approximate equinox or solstice instant for the Northern Hemisphere.

Why not use the first day of the month?

Meteorological seasons use calendar months, but English countdown SERPs commonly target equinoxes and solstices. This page follows that search intent.

Does the exact date ever change?

Yes. The precise equinox or solstice moment shifts by year and time zone. The live countdown uses an approximate astronomical instant and displays it in your local time zone.

Are weekdays exact business days?

No. Weekdays are a Monday-Friday estimate and do not include federal holidays, school calendars or local closures.

How many days until spring?

This countdown answers the English search intent directly: how many days, hours, minutes and seconds are left until spring starts. For a US and broader English-language audience, season countdowns commonly point to the astronomical season boundary rather than the first day of a calendar month.

T_{l e f t} = T_{se a so n} - T_{n o w}

The target is the next Northern Hemisphere spring equinox, approximated as an astronomical instant and displayed in the user's local time zone.
