At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time (Spring forward, even though Spring doesn't begin until late March, over a week after the start of Daylight Saving Time).
Astronomically speaking, the first day of spring is marked by the spring equinox, which falls on March 19 or 20 every year. This date signals springâs beginning in the Northern Hemisphere (whereas it announces fallâs arrival in the Southern Hemisphere).
