The Science Behind Sakura Blooming

This year's flowering date was the earliest on record along with 2021 and 2020, going back to when the record started in the 1950s. With climate change making the weather more unpredictable, it's also becoming difficult to forecast when the Sakura bloom. Researchers have found that if the winter in places like Kyushu, which is the warmest part of Japan, just like doesn't get cold enough, you might see some kind of half bloom trees or they might not bloom at all.
