🌸 Cherry blossoms are blooming earlier and arborists and others point to a familiar reason: climate change.
In the case of the cherry trees around the Tidal Basin, 2023's peak bloom projection now is for March 22 through 25, according to the National Park Service. Unusually warm or cool temperatures have meant peak blooms as early as March 15 in 1990 and as late as April 18 in 1958.
Litterst said that the average date of peak bloom has moved up about six days in the last 60 to 80 years. At the same time, temperatures along the Tidal Basin have risen a statistically significant 2.5 degrees, he said. "The greatest indicator of spring in the nation’s capital is when the cherry blossoms come out," LItterst said."There is focus on those trees more so than just about any other natural resource around here, so when they come earlier that gets everybody’s attention."Data for Kyoto’s famous cherry trees go back to 812, records compiled from imperial court diaries and chronicles.
