Spring carries with it a promise of renewal, warmer weather, blooming flowers, and longer days. If you are asking how many days until spring 2025, you are not alone. Many of us mark the calendar for the first day of spring with excitement and anticipation. Whether you are planning events, gardening, or simply looking forward to sunshine, knowing when spring starts gives you something to look forward to.
In this article we will explore exactly when spring 2025 begins, how many days remain until that date from today, the difference between astronomical and meteorological definitions of spring, and how to make the most of the transition from winter to spring. By the end you will have a clear understanding of the timeline, along with helpful tips to prepare for the season ahead.
When Does Spring 2025 Actually Begin?
The first step is to determine exactly which date marks the beginning of spring in 2025. The answer depends on whether you use the astronomical definition or the meteorological definition.
Astronomical Spring
Astronomical spring is determined by celestial events — specifically the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere when day and night are roughly equal. According to reliable sources, the spring equinox in 2025 for the Northern Hemisphere occurs on March 20 2025. New York Post+2Time and Date+2
Because you are in Pakistan (Asia/Karachi time zone) you would adjust for local time zone, but for practical purposes we can mark March 20 as the start of astronomical spring.
Meteorological Spring
Meteorologists often define spring more simply, as the three calendar months of March, April and May in the Northern Hemisphere. By this definition, spring begins on March 1 and ends on May 31.
For most practical purposes — planning gardens, events, or simply expecting warmer weather — many people use the meteorological date of March 1.
Which Definition Should You Use?
If you want the “official” start based on astronomy, use March 20. If you are planning by climate or seasonal behaviour, use March 1. Either way your excitement for spring makes sense.
In this article, when we say “spring 2025 begins” we will primarily reference March 20 2025, the astronomical date — but we will also note the meteorological context.
Counting the Days Until Spring 2025
Since today is Friday, November 21, 2025 (Asia/Karachi time zone), spring 2025 has already passed for the Northern Hemisphere. In that sense the countdown has ended. Spring began on March 20 2025. By this date in November you are well into autumn for the Northern Hemisphere.
However, if you are interested in the countdown that was valid before that date, or if you are living in the Southern Hemisphere and refer to spring starting in September, we can reverse-calculate or look to the next forthcoming spring.
Countdown to March 20 2025 (If we were earlier in the year)
If we were ahead of March 20 then you could calculate the number of days by subtracting today’s date from March 20. For example, if it were January 1 2025, the days until spring would be 78 days (assuming non-leap year). But since we are now in late November, you can reflect that spring arrived many months ago.
If You Are Referring to Spring in the Southern Hemisphere
In the Southern Hemisphere spring begins around the September equinox. For example, one source says the spring equinox for Southern Hemisphere in 2025 falls on September 22 2025. Time and Date That means if you are in a region where spring begins in September your countdown would have started earlier in the year and ended in September.
Key Takeaway
-
For Northern Hemisphere: Spring 2025 began on March 20, 2025.
-
If you are reading this after that date (as we are now in November) then spring has already begun.
-
For meteorological spring: it began on March 1, 2025.
-
For Southern Hemisphere: spring began in September (around Sept 22) in 2025.
Why the Dates Matter
You might wonder why the exact date matters so much. Here are some reasons:
-
Planning Seasonal Activities
If you grow plants or garden, you want to know when frost ends, when the soil warms up, and when you can begin planting. Knowing the start of spring helps. -
Cultural and Seasonal Celebrations
Many cultures celebrate festivals around the beginning of spring (for example Nowruz on March 21 in some countries). These events are linked to renewal and nature. New York Post+1 -
Weather and Daily Life
Recognizing when the days begin to grow longer and warmer helps people shift wardrobes, schedule outdoor activities, and adjust routines. -
Personal Motivation
For many people the arrival of spring means new energy, fresh starts, and improved mood. Marking the date gives something to look forward to.
How to Prepare for Spring 2025 Now
Since spring 2025 has already arrived from a Northern Hemisphere perspective, you might instead think ahead to spring 2026. But either way the idea of preparation applies. Here are suggestions you can use whether you are just entering spring or preparing for the next one.
1. Clean Up and Declutter in Late Winter
Just before spring begins is a great time to clean your home, garden, or workspace. Remove winter debris, organize storage areas, and set up for fresh starts.
2. Plan Outdoor Activities
As days grow longer you will have more daylight for walks, gatherings, and nature. Consider planning hikes, picnics, or outdoor projects.
3. Garden and Planting Schedule
If you are a gardener, track local frost dates, soil temperature, and sunlight. Early spring is suitable for planting cool-weather vegetables and prepping beds.
4. Renew Your Wardrobe
Switching from heavy winter layers to lighter clothing helps you align with the season. Spring colours, floral patterns, lighter fabrics all fit the mood.
5. Set New Personal Goals
Many people treat spring as a reset period. Whether you want to start exercising more, learn a new hobby, or simply spend more time outdoors—spring is a symbolic fresh start.
What Happens After Spring Begins
Once spring starts on March 20 (astronomical) or March 1 (meteorological) a sequence of changes unfolds.
Increasing Daylight and Rising Temperatures
At the equinox the day and night are approximately equal. After that, daylight increases and temperatures gradually rise. This change affects mood, energy, and nature renewal.
Nature Awakens
Flowers bloom, trees regain leaves, and animals that hibernate become active. Walking outside you may see buds, early blooms, and hear birds returning.
Transition in Lifestyle
People often leave heavy coats behind, open windows, and move social activities outdoors. This transition is part of the seasonal rhythm.
Then Summer Approaches
Spring leads into summer. For many regions, the final day of astronomical spring occurs around the summer solstice (about June 21). For meteorological spring, the end is May 31 and summer begins June 1. Wikipedia
How Many Days Until Spring 2026?
Because spring 2025 has passed, here is a quick look ahead. Assuming the astronomical start of spring 2026 is March 20, 2026, you can calculate days until that date from today (November 21, 2025).
-
From November 21, 2025 to March 20, 2026 there are:
-
November 21 – November 30: 9 days
-
December: 31 days
-
January 2026: 31 days
-
February 2026 (non-leap year): 28 days
-
March 1 – March 20: 20 days
-
Total = 9 + 31 + 31 + 28 + 20 = 119 days
-
So there are approximately 119 days until spring 2026 begins (astronomical). If you use the meteorological start of March 1, 2026 then the countdown would be a little longer by about 19 days.
Season Definitions Around the World
Different regions define spring in different ways. It is worth noting because your location may influence when you say “spring has arrived”.
-
Northern Hemisphere generally begins spring in March. Wikipedia+1
-
Southern Hemisphere begins spring around September. For example spring 2025 begins around September 22 in the Southern Hemisphere. Time and Date
-
Meteorological seasons often define spring as March-April-May in the north, and September-October-November in the south. Wikipedia
What If You Simply Mean “Until Spring” in a Casual Sense?
If you meant “how many days until spring” as a casual or personal marker — maybe for a vacation, a wedding, or a garden project — you can apply this approach:
-
Choose your personal spring start date (astronomical vs meteorological).
-
Count the days from today to that date.
-
Adjust for your location (time zone, hemisphere, climate).
-
Use that countdown to plan and anticipate.
Even if the official spring date has passed for your region, you can still use the concept for renewed energy and planning the next “season” of growth, whether it is weather days or personal goals.
Final Thoughts
If you are in the Northern Hemisphere and reading this on November 21 2025, spring 2025 began already on March 20. There is no countdown left for that particular season—what you are experiencing now is autumn heading toward winter. However, if you look ahead to spring 2026, there are approximately 119 days until the astronomical spring start.
Spring carries a rich blend of natural renewal, emotional uplift, and practical change. Knowing when it begins helps you plan your garden, sunlight hours, wardrobe, personal goals, and celebrations. Whether you use March 20 or March 1 as the start, the spirit of spring remains the same — a time to emerge, grow, and move forward.
