Is spring the first season in the year?

Answer 1

Usually it is spring, summer, autumn, winter. However, that is the case in the northern hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, it would be autumn. Another way of looking at it is that it is winter when the year starts in the northern hemisphere and spring is the first season entirely in the year in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, it is summer when the year starts and autumn is the first season entirely in the year.

Answer 2

In meteorological terms, spring is often considered the first season of the year. However, astronomically, the first season is winter. This discrepancy arises from differences in how seasons are defined based on the calendar and weather patterns.
