Partly cloudy skies and spring equinox are expected today. Spring officially arrives today at 5:24 p.m. This is the exact time when the sun is directly above the equator, giving most places around the world “equal days and nights” of about 12 hours. Grand Rapids achieves 12 hour days and 12 hour nights a few days earlier because we are south of the 45th parallel!
