How many days until spring?

Meteorological spring in Australia begins on 1 September and runs through to the end of November, using the same fixed calendar-month convention as the rest of the year rather than the equinox. This page counts down the exact time left until that 1 September start.

Spring brings warming days, wildflower season in Western Australia, and the build-up to the football grand finals across several codes. It's also when Father's Day falls, right at the very start of the season, and when hay fever season kicks into gear for a lot of the country as pollen counts rise.

Because this calendar-based system starts spring about three weeks before the equinox, this countdown will read differently from equinox-based tools built for other countries. That's deliberate — it reflects the definition the Bureau of Meteorology and most Australians use day to day.
