The dates when the seasons begin and end vary depending on whom you ask. Each season has both an astronomical start and a meteorological start. It sounds complicated, but trust us, it’snot! During the autumn equinox, the Sun shines directly on the equator and day and night around the globe are of almost equal length - a day and night of roughly 12 hours each. In other words, it takes Earth less time to go from the autumnal equinox to the vernal equinox than it does to go from the vernal equinox to the autumnalequinox.

Because of the change in our climate, namely that it’s getting warmer, Liz says that since the '60s we’ve started to get roughly a month longer growing season in the UK.
