Hi

Note that tlspiegel's answer only applies to one half of the world
(the bit north of the equator).

The rest of the world has Spring starting in September. We can use the
same table and get:

...2006...
AUTUMNAL EQUINOX...(FALL)   SEP 22 2006 1103 PM EST - 0403 UTC SEP 23

Which is the start of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
