Spring
is one of the four conventional temperate seasons, following winter and
preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local
usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When
it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern
Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring, or vernal, equinox, days are
approximately 12 hours long with day length increasing as the season
progresses.
Spring
and "springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth,
rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. Subtropical and tropical
areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons, e.g. dry or
wet, monsoonal or cyclonic. Cultures may have local names for seasons which
have little equivalence to the terms originating in Europe.
