Spring starts earlier than you think If you're in a rush to get to spring already, consider marking your calendar with the meteorological first day of spring - today! Meteorological seasons are different from the astronomical ones, which rely on the actual movement of the sun. Instead, meterological seasons are based on annual temperature cycles and the Gregorian calendar, according to Accuweather. In short, the weathermen say spring begins March 1 and the astronomers set it at March 20 in 2019. But who's counting? Meteorological seasons bring all seasons sooner. Meteorological summer begins June 1 through August. Meteorological fall is September, October, and November. And the weathermen start winter on December 1. Since astronomical seasons vary in days from 89 to 93, meteorologists calculate the season in chunks that make comparing statistics easier. With meteorological seasons, meteorologists can compare statistics for the same three-month cycles. The only hiccup in that plan is one extra winter day every four years, during Leap Year.
