Today we will find out when spring begins according to the calendar and what is the first spring month (calendar). For convenience, we will use a short calendar in the form of a calendar table of the seasons that we have posted. A calendar table that indicates what the first spring months are, what is the name of 1 month when spring begins. This may seem strange, but it is a fact that the first spring months are not 1, but 2. Let us tell you in more detail in which month the calendar spring begins (according to the calendar). As you can see from the calendar, all periods considered seasons, last 3 months. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that different countries, for example, in Russia, Ukraine, England or Australia, the number of spring months is the same - exactly three. However, the names of those first months that belong to the spring season may be different. And the point here is not only that it requires translation of the names of the months corresponding to the onset of the seasons. The beginning seasons themselves and the coming seasons: calendar winter, calendar spring, calendar summer and calendar autumn, do not always coincide in countries located in different hemispheres of the Earth. In order to quickly find out from which month spring begins, the spring season begins, in a given specific country, let it be Russia or Australia. We need to remember from the course high school, in which hemisphere this country is located. In the Northern Hemisphere, like Russia, or in the Southern Hemisphere, like Australia. After which, using the calendar, you yourself can easily find the names of the first spring month in any country in the world.
Why do the beginning calendar seasons change and the coming seasons change places in the Northern and Southern hemispheres of the Earth? It would seem that it would be more convenient to use a universal calendar in which the seasons, the seasons, remain constant for both hemispheres and the same for all countries. Then there would be no confusion about when and what month spring begins according to the calendar. If dividing the calendar system into seasons was an abstract action, perhaps this would be the case. However, the beginning of the seasons, reflecting the seasons in the calendar, remind us of climate change, weather changes, changes in nature, animal behavior, life cycle plants. For example:
- When winter comes, it begins cold season time of year.
- When summer comes, the hot season of the year begins.
- When autumn comes, it begins the rainy season of gradual cooling after the hot season.
- When spring comes, it’s spring: a season of gradual warming and the awakening of nature after the cold season.
In principle, the modern calendar is quite unified and is used unchanged in all countries. In addition to “inversion” - changing the places of seasons, seasons, there is some difference only in the names of monthly periods, which necessitates translation, but this is a minor problem. By the way, if you need to know what monthly periods are called in the calendar in Russian, Ukrainian or English languages or self-translation is difficult - see our calendar table. The table is specially designed so that you can not only see the names of the monthly periods in three languages, but also pronounce them correctly. To do this, we added additional columns to the calendar table, such as transcription. It is transcription that helps correct pronunciation names in Russian, English or Ukrainian when reading the calendar.

Everyone associates spring with something different. For some it’s childhood with boats in streams, for others it’s blooming apricot orchards, and for others it’s remembering the first snowdrops they were given as a gift. The beginning of spring can be celebrated several times, and each
The moment of her arrival in the same year will be correct. You might be surprised and want to know when spring actually begins. Let's look at some facts together.
Calendar spring
On our planet it is associated with its rotation around the Sun. As you know, the Earth makes a full revolution around the star in 365 (366) days a year, of which 92 occur in spring. By the way, it is believed that the beginning of astronomical spring is Day (this is 20 or Any first-grader knows what month spring begins according to the Gregorian calendar (by which we all live) - this is March. The 1st day of this month marks the arrival of the time so beloved by many year. For most people, this period is the beginning of accomplishments, expected prosperity and, most importantly, a time of hope. But the onset of March does not always mean that nature is ready to throw off the blanket of snowy sleep.
Meteorological spring
Calendar spring may not coincide with meteorological spring. Their start dates sometimes vary significantly. The arrival of spring in meteorology is determined by the Hydrometeorological Center. When does spring begin according to weather forecasters?
Determined using the average daily temperature. If this value exceeds 0 degrees Celsius, it is believed that the arrival of spring can truly be celebrated. This is the time when nature begins to awaken. And on the calendar it may already be mid-March.
The beginning of spring among the people
Our ancestors even believed that spring came into its own on February 1st. The fact is that Gromovitsa used to be celebrated on this date - last day winter. The holiday was widespread in Polotsk, in Rus' its name is Meeting. When spring begins, people knew it was on this day. It was on February 1 that the decisive battle took place: the aging Winter gave a desperate battle to the Red Spring. People called on the Sun to shine brighter and organized winter games (wall to wall). This fun symbolized the meeting of two seasons. And the holiday was called Gromovitsa because it was considered the only winter day when a thunderstorm could strike.
Animals-predictors
Almost every person from the former Soviet republics associates spring with the painting
Alexey Savrasov “The rooks have arrived.” Melting snow, birds on several birch trees, the trembling trunks of which seem to begin to reach for the sun, the outskirts of some provincial town - all together this perfectly conveys the atmosphere of the coming spring. Nature is still sleeping, but certain signs indicate that it will begin to wake up very soon. The main evidence is the arriving rooks. People often used animals and birds to determine when spring began. Upon the return of migratory birds, rooks and buntings, it was predicted that warming would soon occur. The bunting bird was popularly considered a harbinger of imminent, stable warmth. IN Ancient Rus' On March 3, it was customary to honor her. In honor of the bird, pies were baked from oatmeal.
In the United States, there is a tradition of predicting when spring will begin by using the groundhog's prediction. This kind of fun has already reached the CIS countries. Having awakened the animal, the public tries to determine the length of its shadow, thus predicting spring soon or a long winter. In the spring, many animals begin the rut, which also indicates the beginning of a new mating season. But the sound of a woodpecker in March indicates that spring is delayed.
Signs of spring
Animals can predict the awakening of nature and determine the beginning of the spring season. But humanity has also developed its own signs over many years, and knowledgeable people can easily find out from certain natural phenomena when
Spring will begin. Warming on Tatyana's day (January 25) and bright sun foretell an early arrival warm season. Long icicles indicate that spring will be long and protracted. People also noticed that when snowstorms occur in March, and the snow piles up in mounds, one can expect a rich harvest for vegetables and spring crops. If the snow begins to melt very early, it will not take long to completely melt. One of the signs of spring is associated with the holiday of Theodosius the Great (popularly Theodosius the Vesnyak). Its date is January 24. It is believed that by the weather on this day it is easy to determine when spring will begin: if it’s sunny outside, it’s early, if it’s cloudy, you’ll have to wait. People also note that if they return on time, it means there will be a large harvest of bread. And the March clouds, moving quickly and high in the sky, - good sign, you can expect beautiful weather.
Periods of spring
Spring can be divided into three periods: the first is the pre-spring, the second is the spring itself, and the third is the pre-summer period. Pre-spring comes with melting snow, icicles and the sun increasingly appearing from behind the clouds. This period is characterized by sharp fluctuations in day and night temperatures, and the daily average can drop below zero. Soon the second stage comes to replace the pre-spring. By the time spring fully begins, all the snow should have melted. The first grass emerges, insects appear, and buds swell on the trees. The period of real spring is ending with the short-lived cold weather inherent in this stage. And it is replaced by a warm forelife, which lasts until the onset of the next season.
But summer is already a topic for the next publication.
This is how they teach us (in America). But I quickly, so that the child’s brain would not become stuck, explained that there is a calendar arrival of spring, and there is an astronomical one - on the day of the vernal equinox. And there is also a phenological one - when the average daily temperature steadily exceeds 0 Celsius.
By the way, look what I found. If in simple words Tell a child - it will be a very voluminous and romantic explanation:
“The spring season consists of four subseasons, each of which is characterized by its own phenoindicators.
The 1st subseason (snow melting), according to Mikhail Prishvin - “spring of light” - begins with the appearance of the first thawed patches in the field, and ends with the beginning of the flowering of gray alder and hazel. During this sub-season, rooks, gulls, starlings and larks arrive. Sap flow and swelling of the buds of maples and birches begins. The snow cover on the fields melts and completely disappears, and water bodies begin to clear of ice.
During the same period, fishing ends the last ice and the fishing begins open water. During this subseason, some species of fish (pike, ide, dace, podust, asp, ruff) prepare and in some places begin to spawn. In some places, roach, ide and bream are already being caught well.
2nd subseason (revival of spring) - begins with the flowering of gray alder. Good indicator the beginning of this subseason for city residents - coltsfoot turning yellow on the clay wastelands. IN Central region As a rule, the onset of these phenomena occurs on April 15-20.
Reservoirs are finally freed from ice, the soil above dries out, many country roads become passable and accessible for transport, and the way is opened for fishermen to the most inaccessible and remote places.
In this subseason, cranes and woodcocks arrive, bumblebees fly out (mosquitoes, flies and the first butterflies appear earlier), and sometimes the “songs” of frogs are heard. Are revived earthworms. Pike and ide finish spawning, ruff and asp continue, and perch and bream begin (older age groups, the largest, the so-called “birch fish”). The period ends with the leafing of the birch and the “dusting” of the elm.
3rd subseason (mid-spring) - begins from the moment the birch tree turns green. At this time, for about two decades, the increase in heat continues. All hotter days and warmer than the night. “The green noise is coming, humming,” as the poet said. The trees and shrubs are turning greener, the bird cherry tree is blooming, and the orchards are blooming. There are more and more insects, and songbirds arrive to feed on them.
In the meadows, forests, and fields, everything is lushly turning green and blooming: dandelion, gooseberries, strawberries, red currants, blueberries, frogwort, lily of the valley, red clover... Nightingales are singing in the coastal thickets, and in the meadows and fields you can already hear the corncrake and quail
These are all signs: the pike begins to eat, bream, which has partially spawned, and chub are caught. In some places, the ide are still finishing their spawning, but the roach and pods continue it. In some places it is already starting well, but still periodically, irregularly, to take crucian carp.
The period ends with the flowering of rowan and purple lilac, and these same phenomena allow us to begin counting the time of the last subseason of spring, which, like the previous one, also lasts about two decades.
Here: in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, Spring comes 7 times!
Calendar spring- begins on March 1 according to the current Gregorian calendar and lasts three spring months of March, April and May. - This Once.
Calendar spring according to the old style- begins on March 14 according to the current calendar and ends on June 14. - This Two.
Astronomical spring(according to the Sun): - occurs on the Spring Equinox Day 20 (this year, 2013) or March 21.- This Three.
Meteorological spring- occurs when the actual average daily temperature exceeds 0°C.- This Four.
Climate spring - From time to time, climatologists themselves reassign the day of the arrival of spring: the day when the climatic norm of the average daily temperature rises above 0°C. In Moscow, climate spring begins on March 27 - This Five.
Since ancient times in Rus', people believed that spring comes when the rooks arrive (folk sign) - This Six.
Phenological spring- a rather vague concept, in the sense that to count its beginning, various annually recurring natural phenomena, for example: the appearance of icicles on the roofs of unheated premises (barn, gazebo, etc.), the appearance of the first spring (non-freezing at night) streams, etc. Everyone can choose a sign of the beginning of Spring to their liking. - This Seven.
Spring is usually divided into three periods: pre-spring, real spring, pre-flight (flight).
Pre-spring. The beginning of spring
Spring begins with the arrival of rooks. They arrive when the snow is already melting intensively. This period, called pre-spring, lasts until the snow melts. At this time, concessions to winter are still possible - the average daily temperature may drop below zero.
Real spring
Real spring comes when all the snow melts. Nature awakens, the grass begins to fill with an emerald shine, the buds swell and bloom on the trees, delighting us with the first soft green leaves... This period usually ends with the last return of cold weather, which comes during the flowering of bird cherry, after which the preflight (flight) begins.
Predletye
The pre-year period begins immediately after the “Cheremukhovy colds”, but I can’t say how it ends, when they tried to convey this simple wisdom, everything was already clear: “We study in the spring, and summer is when the holidays begin.” And now, alas, there is no one to ask...
Now the children themselves are starting to ask...
Maybe one of the readers can tell me?

What is spring like?
After dividing spring into periods, we can talk in detail about what spring is like. Most often they talk about early or late spring, then about protracted or friendly, gloomy or sunny, but very rarely, especially in Lately, O cold spring. All subsequent climatic examples will be given for middle zone Russia.
Early spring(here we mean not a poetic synonym for pre-spring, but a climatic definition) - this is spring, in which pre-spring occurs earlier than usual; in Moscow and the Moscow region, spring is considered early if intensive snow melting began before the first half of March.
Late spring - this, accordingly, is spring, in which the pre-spring occurs earlier than usual; in the Moscow region, spring is considered late if the pre-spring began in April.
I will also say about friendly spring - the remaining definitions, I believe, are intuitively clear without additional clarification.
Friendly Spring is considered to be the period in which the pre-spring period lasts no more than 10 days.

(preliminary forecast, compiled on January 15, 2019)
But it turns out that this year Spring, having shown its signs at the very beginning of March, will delay its final arrival almost until last numbers month. Real spring can only come in early April (the snow will finally melt). March will be an early spring, but gloomy month, will begin with thaws, but in the second decade the thaws may abruptly give way to frosts. The end of March and the beginning of April will not please us very much with the spring sun. April will be noticeably warmer than normal at the beginning of the first decade, and then in the middle of the second. The May Day holidays will be relatively warm and sunny. Unfortunately, this year in the Moscow region, return May frosts are very likely; this could happen on the eve of Victory Day or immediately after it; almost summer warmth can be expected only towards the end of the month; in the third ten days of May, warm but rather humid weather will set in.

01/09/15 The thunderstorm that occurred on Anna Zimoukaznitsa most likely indicates that the spring of 2015 will begin early with a strong thaw, but the arrival of real warmth (real spring) will be delayed until April, i.e. It looks like the coming spring will be early but protracted.
Facts about the weather in spring.
January 24 V Fedosy Vesnyak Day it was warm in Moscow Maximum temperature- 0°C, average daily temperature -1.5°C with normal temperature - 9.7°C. It turns out that the possibility of an early onset of spring is still confirmed(see Signs about the weather)
06 February. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. Like Aksinya, so is spring.” In Moscow, the morning of this day turned out to be cloudy, but by noon the clouds began to clear, the sun came out. During the day the clouds became less and less and by night it cleared up completely. Precipitation on this day was only indicated by light snow. This weather suggests that although spring in Moscow may begin early, the period of cloudy and slushy weather will last almost until mid-spring, but then it will get down to business and for the most part its second half will be warm and dry.
February, 15.Candlemas- “There is snow on Candlemas - there will be rain in the spring”, “What is the weather on Candlemas, such will be the spring.” On this day in Moscow in the morning it was relatively warm and cloudy, the air temperature was from -2 to -1°C, a weak westerly wind, snow at times, in the afternoon it began to clear up, while the temperature dropped to -4°C, the wind was north-west, then northerly with gusts up to 12 m/s, in the evening the temperature continues to drop from -4 to -8°C, clear, northerly wind gusts up to 15 m/s.
Such weather may mean that in the spring we will have a rather warm and not very sunny March and April, rich in precipitation, and May as a whole will be noticeably warmer than normal, but the weather will be unstable and windy at first, and hot, dry weather will set in at the end of May.
March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- When you are waiting for spring, the main thing is that it doesn’t snow that day: “If there is snow on Obretenye, then trample it until April.” On Obretenye in Moscow in 2015 there was no snow...

Spring. year 2014. Moscow. (forecast by signs)
12/07/13 So far there are no direct signs about what the spring of 2014 will be like, but indirect ones (it seems that the signs that the winter will be “classical”, i.e. close to the climate norm, are beginning to be justified) we can assume that the coming spring will not be late.
The first sign about the weather in spring will be received in Fedosy Vesnyak Day (24.01.14).

Like Aksinya, so is spring.” In Moscow, “Aksinya was clear!”- Early in the morning, the clouds that had covered the sky all night cleared and the weather remained clear all day, only in the late evening the sky became hazy. This weather suggests that spring in Moscow, although it will come with a slight delay, will be friendly, warm and dry.
February, 15.Candlemas- “At Candlemas the starry sky means late spring,” “What is the weather at Candlemas, such will be the spring.” There was no starry sky at Candlemas. On this day in Moscow from morning to evening it was warm and cloudy, air temperature +2 - +3°C, weak southwest wind, calm at times, in the evening it began to drizzle, ending with light rain and snow.
These data can be interpreted as follows: in the spring we will have quite warm and not very sunny March and April, but not rich in precipitation, and May as a whole will be slightly warmer than normal, but the precipitation will correspond to the entire spring.
March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- “If there is snow on Obretenye, then trample it until April.” There was no precipitation on Obretenye in Moscow, which means that even if there is still snow, it will not last long.
March 15th. Fedot Vetronos- On this day, Fedot, indeed, brought a gusty wind (11-12 m.s.) to Moscow. According to the saying: “Fedot is evil - do not be (in March according to the old style) with grass.” - it seems that nature has in store for this There will be a few unpleasant surprises this spring.
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2014.

Spring. year 2013. Moscow. (forecast by signs)
01/12/2013 According to popular superstitions, it turns out that this spring will be similar to the springs of the 70s and 80s - March will be almost winter month. Real spring will begin in the second ten days of April. In March and the first half of April, cloudy weather with precipitation will prevail. But May will be warm and dry, but in the first half it can also “please” with returning cold weather (this forecast will still be clarified based on later signs).
Facts about the weather. Spring 2013
The 25th of January. According to weather signs in Fedosy Vesnyak Day(January 24 - average daily temperature -10.2°C) it turns out that there will be no early spring in Moscow(see Signs about the weather)
February 06. Saint Xenia's Day(Aksinya Vesnoukaznitsa) - this is one of the few days that “firmly” indicate what spring will be like: “Aksinya is clear and spring is red. As Aksinya is, so is spring” - on this day in Moscow there was heavy snow in the morning, and then until At the end of the day the weather was cloudy and slushy - +1. This suggests that the first half of spring will be dominated by cloudy weather with precipitation.
February, 15. Candlemas- “What is the weather on Candlemas, such is the spring.” On this day in Moscow in the morning it was cold and cloudy, the temperature gradually increased from -8 to -5°C, variable northeast, weak north wind, clears in the afternoon for several hours of cloudless sky, maximum temperature -2.3°C, weak north wind, then calm, in the evening - partly cloudy, calm, getting colder.
These data can be interpreted as follows: in the spring we will have quite cold march and the beginning of April with mostly cloudy weather, in the second half of April it will be warm and sunny until the beginning of May, and May as a whole will be cool, but not very rainy - partly cloudy weather will prevail.
March 09. Midsummer Day (Obretenye)- “If snow (falls) on Obretenye, then trample it until April (spring will drag on).” There was no precipitation in Moscow on Obretenye, which means that by April 14 (01.04 old style) almost all the snow will have melted - this means that there will be at least Spring and late, but friendly.
March 13. Vasily Teply (Kapelnik)- On Vasily, from the thawed patches around the trees, they determine: “Steep edges - spring is friendly.” - It turned out to be not easy to find trees with undisturbed snow in Moscow. Found. An interesting detail: the circle of a white birch is small, almost close to the trunk, while the circle of a thick old linden is half a meter away from the trunk, but the edges of all of them are steep, going vertically down. Spring will be friendly.
March 15th. Fedot Vetronos:"Fedot is evil - not to be (in March according to old style) with grass." (If there is bad weather, wind, then spring will be delayed, and the first fresh grass appear only in April - by April 14 according to our modern calendar). In the old days they said about the weather that happened in Moscow on March 15: “Fedot came, but not the same one!” - gusty winds and 25 mm of precipitation per day. But in the end - nothing new, it’s already clear that spring will be late...
April 1 Over the weekend I found the following weather data for April: In the old days, the most recent annual frosts were Blagoveshchensk and they fell at the end of March according to the Julian calendar - according to the modern calendar their peak falls on April 7. Nowadays they almost never happen, otherwise everyone would know about them (Epiphany frosts are known to everyone), but this spring is such that anything can happen... In temperature graph I’ll make an adjustment for the Annunciation frosts (light green line), let’s see what happens...
By the way, despite the fact that we are all tired of waiting for spring, these cold weather are needed to stop the melting of snow, otherwise, given how much snow has accumulated, spring flood
could become an "all-Russian flood"
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2013
March 20 at 15:02 Moscow time has arrived astronomical Spring(The earth has passed the point of the vernal equinox, from this moment on the day longer than the night ). But the weather so far is such that it doesn’t even smell like spring: the temperature at night is -10°C; during the day -5°C; North wind; snowdrifts 60 cm high!
26 March - the rooks have arrived: a large flock of rooks sat down to rest on a huge old poplar right in front of our windows - Spring came! (the pre-spring has arrived).
March 27 the date set by meteorologists has arrived climatic Spring(The average daily temperature on this day, alas, is -8°C).
March 31 meteorological winter has ended and has come meteorological spring(the average daily temperature on that day exceeded 0°C and never fell below this level again).
April 05 streams stopped freezing at night. But my “test stream” appeared only today - the mass of snow accumulated over the winter, at first, held the melt water in itself. I took a video of the stream that just appeared from my phone, last year’s video was also preserved there - the comparison was simply amazing... I invite you to take a look at the video:
Video. Spring impromptu from the phone. 04/05/2013. Moscow, pond on Vyazemskaya, test stream. Sounds of Spring.
07.04.2013.
Planned to reshoot the episode from April 5th in more high quality, and so that everything is the same as last year’s recording.
Alas, in the morning it was snowing and raining, and the stream was barely flowing, but still flowing! And this despite the sub-zero temperature at night! In general, if the picture has changed, then in the sense of the mood for spring, only for the worse - I decided to leave everything as it is... (According to official weather data, the height of the snow cover decreased during this time from 48 to 45 cm).
April 17 at the meteorological site of the All-Russian Exhibition Center the snow has completely melted - the real spring.
Steps of spring. Moscow. year 2012
March 28- rooks arrived (they definitely saw them), in an arc version on March 25 (it is possible that they were rooks - from afar, unreliable) - spring has come ( pre-spring).
April 28 +26.3°C(in fact, there is an element of deceit in our calculation of time, because this is leap year and, in theory, the date corresponding to ordinary years is April 29).
April 29 - temperature record(maximum) for this date for the entire observation period - +28.9°C(nothing to complain about here, it really is a temperature record!)

Spring came
The lesson begins with the teacher reading the poem “Spring” by K. Kubilinskas
Spring has arrived in the snow,
On a damp carpet,
Scattered snowdrops,
I sowed grass.
Badger families due
I picked it up from my holes,
Birch sap
I gave it to the guys.
I looked into the den:
- Well, get up, bear! -
She breathed on the branches -
It's time to go green!
Now spring is beautiful
Calling from all over
Geese, swifts and storks,
Cuckoos and starlings.

IV. Learning new material
Children are invited to look at Isaac Levitan's painting "The Last Snow". The teacher asks leading questions: What season did the artist depict? What month of spring exactly? What helped you determine? What feeling does the painting evoke? Who knows when folk calendar The first meeting of spring is celebrated (February 15). That's right, guys, winter has not yet had time to recede, but spring is already reminding itself and already in February warm days are coming (they are also called February windows). Children take turns trying to describe what they saw, using epithets and comparative phrases. Next, the children list how nature and life around them change with the arrival of spring days (the days are getting longer, the sun is shining brighter and warmer, the snow is melting, the grass is turning green, the first flowers appear in the meadows, they are returning migratory birds, the winter crops rise and turn green in the fields, the buds swell on the trees and the first leaves appear, the birch gives tasty sap, many insects wake up, changes occur in the lives of animals, and so on). Then the teacher asks the children if they know what a folk sign is, why it is needed, can anyone give an example? (Discuss each sign with the children, give an example from life)
If the water stagnates in the field, the cattle will be well fed.
You can’t work hard in the spring - it’s a hungry year.
The bird returns in a flock - a friendly spring.
The bird builds a nest on the sunny side - cold summer.
To meet a hare in a white fur coat in the spring means there will still be snow.
The onset of early spring is a sign of a long summer.
If the snow melts early, there will be a long thaw.
The snow is melting quickly - it will be a rainy summer.
A fluffy comb appeared on the willow - and spring arrived.
In April there is grass, in May there is grass.
WITH warm April and wet May - everyone will have a good harvest.
If the bee takes off early, there will be a bright spring.
