The vernal (spring) equinox (equal night) occurred at 12.43 this morning when the sun crossed the equator into our hemisphere. It’s the time when day and night are of approximately equal length. It also means sunrise was due east and sunset will be due west.

Kāpiti’s spring was particularly early this year with most of the springing being done in August, largely due to mild night temperatures, but has turned out slightly cooler than average and much wetter.

The painting below, Spring, is by Botticelli and is one of the most famous in western art. I doubt you’ll find these goings-on in Waikanae Park though.
