PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! Did we say PEAK BLOOM?! The blossoms are opening & putting on a splendid spring spectacle. See you soon. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸! nps.gov/cherry #CherryBlossom #BloomWatch #WashingtonDC

Yep. It was Noon. Just as I predicted 🤓

Almost to peak. Probably, by Noon.

The #CherryBlossoms #peakbloom is coming faster again this year. And coming soon! Here’s spiders eye view through accelerated #timelapse at the #tidalbasin March 14th #BloomCam @NatlParkService @NationalMalLNPS @NationalParkFdn @TheNationalMall

Another day, another Stage 😁🥲

Accelerating through the stages, we’ve swiftly moved from Extension of Florets —> headed to Peduncle Elongation. The cherry blossoms are in full swing! Stay tuned for daily timelapse. 🌸 #CherryBlossoms #Timelapse

The timing of the peak cherry tree blossom is influenced by spring temperatures. Based on data from Japan stretching back to the year 812 (!), we see that in recent centuries the peak blossom has gradually moved earlier in the year—due to higher temperatures from climate change.

The 2024 Cherry Blossom timelapse 🌸📷season is back in action! Swift bud growth at unprecedented year on year pace to peak. Despite battling this torrential wind, already halfway to peak bloom. Final frame is stage 3 from March 10th.📷#timelapse #cherryblossoms @capitalweather

Watch how fast the cherry blossom buds are developing. This cool timelapse by @Chieftain (Jason Morenz) shows buds go from Stage 1 (3/2) to Stage 3 (3/8) -- halfway to peak bloom -- at record speed. Final frame in timelapse is 3/9. Related article: washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/0…
