At the equinox, night and day are nearly equal worldwide. “Spring” in US weather terms is March–May. Cherry blossoms in DC, Opening Day in MLB, and the shift to DST (second Sunday in March) all cluster near this window but are not the same event.
How many days until spring, using the equinox
Groundhog Day on February 2 is folklore about the length of winter, not a scientific spring start. If you are counting to warmer weather, the equinox is the clean astronomical line.
Same rule as the summer page: the equinox is one UTC timestamp. Your timezone dropdown labels the remaining time in local hours.

This countdown exists because “How Many Days Until Spring” is a real remaining-days search. March equinox is the civil date people mean. They count to it for the named observance and for travel, school, and plans that share the same morning. The timer uses midnight in the timezone you pick.
