The transitional nature of spring yields a unique set of meteorological phenomena, ranging from gentle life-giving rains to catastrophic severe weather events. Rising Temperatures and Thawing
Spring weather does not arrive uniformly. It is driven by planetary mechanics and intense atmospheric battles between contrasting air masses. 1. Solar Radiation and the Vernal Equinox spring season weather
While "spring" is a single season, the weather in March looks very different from the weather in May.
Based on the Earth's orbit around the sun, this begins with the Vernal Equinox (around March 20-21 in the Northern Hemisphere), when the sun crosses the celestial equator. On this day, day and night are roughly equal in length (12 hours). From that point forward, daylight increases until the Summer Solstice. This public link is valid for 7 days
Spring manifests differently depending on geographic location, topography, and proximity to oceans.
A reminder that spring occurs from September to November south of the equator. In places like Argentina, South Africa, and Australia, this is a time of rapidly warming temperatures, volatile thunderstorms, and, in Australia, a dangerous increase in bushfire weather as the dry heat of summer approaches.

As the atmosphere warms, its capacity to hold water vapor increases. The collision of warm, moist air from maritime sources with lingering continental cold air leads to frequent, widespread precipitation. While gentle, persistent rains are common, spring rain can also fall in heavy, disruptive bursts. Severe Weather and Tornado Season
