Meteorological spring arrives today and while you may be itchy for warmer weather, you may wonder why this is happening weeks before the vernal equinox on March 20th.

It all has to do with temperatures.
When you examine average daily high and low temperatures through the year, you'll quickly notice a pattern.
The coldest three months of the year in the Northern Hemisphere are usually from the beginning of December through the end of February, while the warmest three months are typically from the beginning of June through the end of August.
Another advantage to meteorological seasons is the ease of calculating seasonal statistics, since every meteorological season starts on the first of the month.
