How this count works
These are the astronomical seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring and fall begin at equinoxes; summer and winter begin at solstices. The same instant can fall on different local dates.
Times are published to the minute. Meteorological seasons use different start dates. Southern Hemisphere season names are reversed; this page keeps the Northern Hemisphere names.
