When is Spring in the UK?
According to the Met Office, how you define the first day of spring actually depends on whether you are referring to the astronomical or meteorological spring.
Astronomical seasons refer to the position of Earth's orbit in relation to the Sun. The start date of a new season can fall on different days each year. This year, astronomical spring begins on 20 March 2022 and ends on 21 June 2022.
Meteorological seasons are instead based on the annual temperature cycle and measure the meteorological state and the calendar to determine clear seasons. By the meteorological calendar, spring will always start on 1 March; ending on 31 May. March, April and May are determined as Spring.
