Vernal Equinox Monday is Official Spring for Oregon Coast, Washington Coast: Science Curiosities Published 03/19/23 at 5:23 AM By Oregon Coast Beach Connection staff (Astoria, Oregon) – Ya gotta love vernal equinox. It's the first day of official spring. It contains some engaging astronomical aspects in that this is the day when both the north poles and south poles of the Earth are at an equal distance from the sun – whereas any other day of the year one is always tilted closer. (Above: Long Beach, Washington - Oregon Coast Beach Connection) Plus, on the Oregon coast and Washington coast, it means more and more sunlight, and often increasingly warmer days even at the end of March (though it's often known to get rainy during the two spring breaks).
