The date for the start of Spring each year is the Vernal Equinox, the day on which the overhead path of the Sun moves across the equator.

This is the Autumnal Equinox south of the equator.For the Southern Hemisphere, the Vernal Equinox is the "September equinox," which falls on September 23 (2010-2011) or September 22 (2012-2013).
