Discover why the vernal equinox in 2024 surprised everyone. Learn about the impact of the equinox on weather and the environment!

Spring in 2024 made an early entrance, with the vernal equinox occurring a day earlier than usual on March 19 at 11:06 p.m. EDT. This marked the official start of the spring season for the Northern Hemisphere. The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) even captured a stunning satellite image at 11:30 am IST, showcasing the half-lit beauty of the equinox.

As the equinox brought in spring, Weatherbee took a closer look at the country's weather patterns. Spring of 2024 showed a slight dip in temperatures, with the average maximum temperature in the early March period being cooler than the norm. Despite this anomaly, MetMalaysia assured that the equinox had no significant impact on Malaysian weather, attributing the current hot weather to factors like low humidity and global warming.

Amidst the equinox excitement, Spain welcomed the new season with open arms, celebrating the changes in nature and longer daylight hours brought by spring. As people across the Northern Hemisphere marked the vernal equinox on March 20, the spirit of springtime and new beginnings filled the air.

In the midst of spring fever, it's fascinating to note that the equinox date was a surprise, coming a day earlier than expected. Additionally, the link between the equinox and weather patterns showcases the intricate balance of nature. The beauty captured by EUMETSAT's satellite image serves as a reminder of the magic of our changing seasons.
