The spring equinox is coming on Tuesday next week. Twelve hrs of light against 12 hrs of dark in the northern hemisphere will start the march to the 23 degree tilt of the summer solstice in June.

March 20th 2018, 9:15 pacific time in British Columbia is the crossover.

Astronomically speaking, the first day of spring is marked by the spring equinox, which falls on March 19, 20, or 21 every year. The equinox happens at the same moment worldwide, though our clock times reflect a different time zone. And, as mentioned above, this date only signals spring’s beginning in the Northern Hemisphere; it announces fall’s arrival in the Southern Hemisphere.
