The Cherry Blossom Peak Bloom Prediction Has Been Announced. Here’s the Best Time to Visit the Pink Flowers.
If you’re one to see the famous pink flowers that bloom every spring season in Washington D.C., prepare to pack your bags earlier this year.
Due to the abnormally warmer temperatures, the Okame Cherry Trees have blossomed earlier than usual this year.
However, the Yoshino Cherry Blossom trees which are known to bring in hundreds of individuals from around the world for sightseeing officially have their peak bloom prediction!
According to the National Mall and Memorial Parks, the cherry blossom peak bloom prediction falls between the dates of March 22 through March 25 for this year.
It’s also important to the note that the cherry blossom peak bloom will vary from the weather conditions of each year.
And if you’re unfamiliar with the term of “peak bloom”, peak bloom is referred to when 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms have opened, which create clusters of white and pastel pink clouds that surround a portion of Washington D.C.
Keep in mind that these pretty and pink trees will typically bloom for no longer than several days so if you’re planning on visiting the budding trees, plan on taking a road trip sooner, rather than later.
And if you haven’t had the chance to visit the Cherry Blossom festival, it’s truly a sight to see; you can find out more information on the Cherry Blossom festival’s website.
