SPRING is about to be sprung on sun-starved Brits who’ve been cooped up in lockdown since the beginning of the year.
Each year the spring equinox, or vernal, always falls toward the end of March between the 19th and 21st of the month.
In 2021, the date is Saturday, March 20 and marks the day when the length of daylight and darkness finally become equal.
There will be approximately 12 hours, 3 minutes, of daylight tomorow.
It comes as Brits could enjoy a baking Easter weekend as the 2,000 mile wide -5C Arctic Dome vanishes just in time for the holidays.
While the subzero freeze will continue this week bringing snow and icy conditions, things are now expected to warm up in time for the long Easter break at the start of April.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “Going into April, settled conditions are likely to continue in southern and eastern areas, where a good deal of dry and bright weather will occur.
The temperature spike will come as a boost to millions of Brits as it marks the first time in months friends can meet in public with rule of six replacing rules banning more than two people from different houses meeting.
