A reminder that spring is officially here
The Southern Hemisphere will officially welcome spring with the September equinox in the early hours of Wednesday, 23 September. The equinox marks the point when the Sun crosses the Earth's equator, bringing day and night to roughly equal lengths before daylight hours gradually become longer across the Southern Hemisphere.
It is also a useful reminder that spring is not simply a change on the calendar – it marks an astronomical shift as the Earth continues its journey around the Sun.
