Spring falls in different months of the year, depending on where you are in the world.

The UK (United Kingdom) is in the northern hemisphere of the earth. The bottom half is called the southern hemisphere. The two hemispheres are split by an imaginary line called the equator.

Places that are on or near the equator have high temperatures all year round.
