Cherry blossoms hit near-record early peak, a sign of climate change
Exceptionally warm March weather propelled Washington’s cherry blossoms to their second-earliest peak bloom in more than a century of records Sunday, reflecting the growing influence of human-caused climate change on the famed trees.
“PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! Did we say PEAK BLOOM?!,” the National Park Service wrote on X at 4 p.m. Sunday. “The blossoms are opening & putting on a splendid spring spectacle.”
PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! Did we say PEAK BLOOM?!
The blossoms are opening & putting on a splendid spring spectacle. See you soon.

But it is horrible because this is early!
Sunday’s peak bloom at the Tidal Basin, about two weeks earlier than normal, tied with 2000 as the second earliest on record; only the March 15, 1990, bloom came sooner in observations that date to 1921. This year’s peak bloom was so early, it preceded the official start of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which runs from March 20 to April 14, and was also ahead of the earliest projections.
Of course, the record only goes back to 1921, when the trees were planted as a gift from Japan. And it is totally expected that they will bloom earlier because Holocene warm periods happen, not too mention the massive Urban Heat Island effect from the whole and growing D.C. area. And, really, they don’t even try to prove that it is Your Fault anymore, they are required by cult dogma to include something about ‘climate change’ in at least 51% of all articles.
SAy Teach how do you feel personally/professionally with Trump promising to stop the import of foreign cars?
Have to agree with the National Parks service on this one. The blooms all over Virginia are splendid. Tell me again why government departments have X-Twitter accounts?
Has anyone gone shopping for Easter candy? Holy moly. The prices of candy are crazy. I went to make up some baskets for the girls and it cost me over $100 (including the baskets @ $24). A damn coconut filled egg (4.2 oz.) was $8.99. Plus plastic grass, Easter bunnies, jelly beans, other assorted and sundry chocolate classics and showing a couple Hispanic chicks how to dye and decorate eggs and you spent some cash. We had to get a bottle of egg dying wine and some Cuban food. Plus I grabbed 12 hollow plastic eggs to hold money for the egg hunt. Two of each denomination from $100 down to $1. I’m gonna show theses Spics how Americans celebrate Easter. I’m gonna dye the eggs with them this Sunday and set up their baskets so they can nibble all week. I’ll hide the $$$$ eggs on Easter morning.
ooooops !

Good News! The DC Area is freezing again this week. So warming has been averted.
Any records on blooming dates during the Medieval Warm Period or the Roman Climate Optimum?
