Spring in Australia usually lasts three months- September, October, and November. In 2024, it will begin on September 1 and continue up to November 30.
Spring season arrives after Winter and is followed by summer. This is a time of renewal for plant life, with flowers blossoming and trees sprouting new leaves everywhere. Spring is a time of renewal for wildlife too.
It is usually warm but not as hot as summer.
