Spring is also known as Springtime

It is one of the four temperate seasons, succeding winter and preseding summer.  There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs.

Any Snow begins to melt, swelling streams with runoff and any frosts become less severe. In climates that have no snow, and rare frosts, air and ground temperatures increase more rapidly.

Many flowering plants bloom at this time of year, in a long succession, sometimes beginning when snow is still on the ground and continuing into early summer. In normally snowless areas, "spring" may begin as early as February (Northern Hemisphere) or August (Southern Hemisphere), heralded by the blooming of deciduous magnolias, cherries, and quince. Many temperate areas have a dry spring, and wet autumn (fall), which brings about flowering in this season, more consistent with the need for water, as well as warmth. Subartic areas may not experience "spring" at all until May.

In the US and UK, spring months are March, April, and May. In Australia and New Zealand, spring begins on 1 September and ends on 30 November. In Ireland, following the Gaelic calender, spring is often defined as February, March, and April. In Sweden, meteorologists define the beginning of spring as the first occasion on which the average 24 hours temperature exceeds zero degrees Celsius for seven consecutive days, thus the date varies with latitude and elevation. In Brazil, spring months are September, October, November.
