Japanese people are checking and reporting it from really early stage like the photo on the left, and people keep talking “now it’s 10% blooming”, “now it’s 30% blooming”…until fully bloomed or even past bloomed.
It’s not only for a small talk, Japanese weather forecasts are officially reporting and forecasting the Sakura blooming every year as in the two photos on the right.
As you can see on upper right hand side photo, Japanese islands extend vertically and cherry blossoms start to bloom from the south to the north gradually (it takes time and people can even travel with it), so people call it “The Cherry Blossom Front” as if it is one of the weather phenomena.
According to the “Sakura Forecast” by Japan Weather Association as shown on the lower right hand side photo, Sakura flowers will start to bloom on March 21st, and it will come into full bloom in Tokyo area on March 28th this year.
Are you ready for "Hanami (Flowers Viewing)" for Sakura Flowers?
