Spring Months:
Spring begins in March and ends in May. This year it occurred on Tuesday, March 19, 2024. The equinox marks the beginning of spring.
The equinox, is a time when the sun’s exactly above the equator, and day and night seem at equal length.
Weather forecasts expect Spring to be a cool and stormy season. The weather expected in LA during spring consists of a high of 70* and a low of 50*.
Blooming flowers:
Flowers bloom during spring because spring has more sun. More sun means more sunlight and vitamins that flowers use for photosynthesis to grow. This explains why flowers bloom during the spring rather than any other season. Also, the flowers most associated with spring include daffodils and tulips.
Just like flowers, Trees also bloom during spring. During spring, leaves start to show up on trees and they’re greener than ever. More plants grow during spring because of the warmer temperatures which helps soften the soil into more conducive to growth.
Around this time there’s a lot of pollen because of the same reason that trees and flowers bloom during this time, causing many allergies.
The eastern redbud is the tree most associated with spring.
Animals in Spring:
Animals come out of hibernation during spring because the days get warmer and there is more food out; the sun gives plants nutrients so they can make fruit. The animals most associated with spring include birds, rabbits, and bears. These animals seem associated with spring because they symbolize fertility around springtime more than in other seasons.
Daylight Savings:
Daylight savings happens during Spring when we lose one hour of the day. This year daylight savings started on Sunday, Mar 10, 2024, at 2 am and will end on Nov 3, 2024. We observe daylight savings in California to save energy, reduce accidents in traffic, and help people become more active.
