Today is the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, one of only two times in the year that the sun is directly over the equator at noon. It marks the point in the year when day is longer than night, reversing again in the autumn.
It's also a reminder that British Summer Time offically starts this weekend, with the clocks going forward one hour at 1am on Sunday morning.
