What are the flowering periods of Japanese cherry blossoms on the Japanese cherry blossom forecast website?

The cherry blossoms in Japan will bloom soon, but you may not see them this year. But here are some websites to see when to predict the flowering period. If you want to see cherry blossoms, you can go later. The following are related websites.

Prediction of four major websites

Look at the cherry blossoms in front. The most commonly used forecasting websites are Japan Meteorological Corporation, Weathernews, Weathermap, Japan Meteorological Association, etc. According to the forecast as of February 10, the cherry blossom in Japan this year is earlier than in previous years, and some people even predict that it will bloom one week earlier. Let's take a closer look.

Japan Meteorological Corporation

First of all, Japan Meteorological Corporation has made the third wave forecast. Compared with his family's previous two rounds of forecasts, the flowering period is advanced again, and Tokyo may even bloom in mid-March.

Weather news

At present, the latest forecast of Weathernews is the first round of 65438+ 10/5. Generally speaking, the earlier the prediction, the greater the deviation of accuracy. In his family's forecast, other cities are not much different from previous years, but southern Kyushu will be delayed.

The flowering period is difficult to predict. I suggest you refer to the publications of the above four institutions.

Little knowledge of cherry blossom viewing

As a "national flower", there are more than 600 kinds of cherry blossoms in Japan, with different colors, flower shapes and even flowering periods. When predicting the front line of cherry blossoms, it is based on the most common "Sakura Yoshino". Some special varieties, such as "Hejin Sakura" and "Tufei Sakura" which bloom early, are not included in this forecast. If you need to check the flowering period, you should search for a separate forecast.

Yoshino cherry blossoms are characterized by five petals, which are pink at first and gradually turn white after they are completely open.

During the growth cycle of cherry blossoms, flower buds will sleep and stop growing in winter. After that, due to the low temperature, the flower buds will wake up from dormancy (break dormancy) and grow again. Therefore, in addition to the warmth of the Spring Festival, the cold in winter is also essential for the blooming of cherry blossoms.

Weathernews predicts that the flowering period in southern Kyushu will be delayed. One of the reasons is that the temperature in southern Kyushu this winter is slightly higher than in previous years. Warm winter delayed bud dormancy and delayed flowering.

In view of the special circumstances of this year, there is still great uncertainty about the trip from March to April. So I went to see Hokkaido in particular. The basic flowering time is at the end of April and the beginning of May, which is the area where cherry blossoms bloom at the latest.

We usually have a holiday on May 14, and it will reach its full bloom one week after flowering. Even if you miss the flowering period in Honshu Island, you still have a good chance to enjoy cherry blossoms in Hokkaido.
