Spring is here!
(Just don't look at the weather forecast.)

@DMakarios I mean, I see Spring all around me in the flowers and weather but the dates don’t work with the astronomical definition of Spring’s beginning which is the Vernal Equinox (as I’m sure you know).

Since Spring is a human invention anyway trying to catalogue what we see in the world and split it evenly (which never works with the real world) I guess it doesn’t matter 😂

@SimonCHulse I tend to stick to experiential rather than astronomical seasons. The degrees that impact me most directly are the ones on the thermometer, not the ones on the earth's tilt.

@DMakarios @SimonCHulse isn't meteorological spring a thing also over there? under that definition (the 1st of the month where the astronomical season start) it would be already “officially” spring.

here in the north of Italy they tend to apply quite decently to the perceived weather.
