    ... but today is also officially the last day of winter in the northern hemisphere! :jig: Ok, ok, I know they are predicting rain for tomorrow (first day of spring), and even heavier rain for Sunday - but who cares! Spring is almost upon us, and that can only bring better days! (or is this SA totally naive? :~ ). Damn I'm looking forward to the summer :-D


    But I am fantastic in bed! And there are gorgeous women in all the houses I pass. And it would be wrong to leave them unsatisfied! So spam is the only way... - Paul Watson

          I was always told spring began on March 21st, being the spring equinox. Is this not the case? Rich.

In the Southern Hemisphere we generally accept that each season is 3 months long, with Spring starting on 1 September (Spring Day). If that is the case I just assumed that 1 March would be "spring day" here. Possibly spring and summer are shorter here due to poor weather patterns :(( Heinz R.

                    I'm not really sure, but I think the meteorological spring starts on 1 March, and regarding the calender it's 21. :confused:

                          Boys and girls, boys and girls. Not only is it the last day of the month, the potential onset of spring and a Friday, it is also my last day of work after 10 months away from home. Tomorrow I return to my beloved in Cornwall, and also the house I bought in December. Ah sweet end of contract! How I love thee..... Jase :rose:

                                The seasons are deemed to start on the equinoxes, so spring doesn't actually start until the vernal equinox on March 21st. Having said that, some daffodils are in bloom in my garden, and the weather definitely has a spring-like feel to it here. Debbie

                                    but today is also officially the last day of winter Ummm... not really. You'll have a about three more weeks for the first day of spring, which is the vernal equinox, when there is exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of sunlight. This year, it occurs on March 20th. It often occurs on March 21st, which is the day my son was born. He will be 12 this year! [edit]I just realized that link was dated 2001. However, this year the vernal equinox is on the 20th also[/edit]. http://kids.msfc.nasa.gov/News/2000/News-VernalEquinox.asp[^] Marc Help!

In the Southern Hemisphere we generally accept that each season is 3 months long, with Spring starting on 1 September (Spring Day). If that is the case I just assumed that 1 March would be "spring day" here. Possibly spring and summer are shorter here due to poor weather patterns :(( Heinz R.

Ok I must have missed that in the Southern Hemisphere Newsletter. I always thought it was roughly Spring = 1 month, Summer = 5 months, Autumn = 1 month, Winter = 5 months.

                                        but today is also officially the last day of winter Ummm... not really. You'll have a about three more weeks for the first day of spring, which is the vernal equinox, when there is exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of sunlight. This year, it occurs on March 20th. It often occurs on March 21st, which is the day my son was born. He will be 12 this year! [edit]I just realized that link was dated 2001. However, this year the vernal equinox is on the 20th also[/edit]. http://kids.msfc.nasa.gov/News/2000/News-VernalEquinox.asp[^] Marc Help!

I would love to know where we got the thing of 1 September then. It went so far that at school we had a big lunch (I was at boarding school), wore civvies instead of uniform, etc, to celebrate Spring Day on 1 September. But if the equinox is generally accepted this should have all occured on 21 September!

                                          The dafodils are all coming out here too, but I fear they may have been fooled. If another cold snap comes along I wonder if they will survive.
