It is the first day of Spring!

The March equinox begins at 8:06pm PST Tuesday evening.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the spring equinox occurs when the Sun crosses the equator line, heading north in the sky.

After today, the Northern Hemisphere begins to be tilted more toward the Sun, resulting in increasing daylight hours and warming temperatures.

Canada’s winter was about 5 degrees warmer than normal, according to Environment Canada.
