US EditionIs Spring Really — Finally
The equinox balances day and night with nearly equal sunlight in both hemispheres, marking spring in the north and fall in the south, arriving March 20 at 10:46 a.m. EST.
- On Friday, March 20, 2026, at 10:46 a.m. EST, the vernal equinox marks spring in the Northern Hemisphere and fall in the Southern Hemisphere as the sun is directly overhead at the equator.
- Because Earth's axial tilt is neutral, the sun is directly overhead at the equator, so both hemispheres get nearly equal sunlight and day and night last almost the same time.
- Observers note that day and night last nearly equal around the equinox, after which days lengthen in the Northern Hemisphere and shorten in the Southern Hemisphere until the June solstice.
- Food and drink operators treat the seasonal shift as a cue for new spring menus, with Starbucks' spring lineup previewed earlier this month and Chick-fil-A's four strawberry hibiscus beverages introduced on March 9, while the botanical-infused beverages market is valued at $398.4 million in 2025 with a 7.8% CAGR.
- Meteorological seasons note that spring starts on March 1, while equinoxes have been celebrated for centuries, including in Japan; weather may not feel springlike even as the equinox arrives this Friday.
