How is the blossoming season predicted in spring?

[Leaders Times] Pretty spring flowers!

How is the blossom season predicted in spring? Climate change instigates flowers blooming even earlier.

Daily articles report the blossom season appearing earlier than in the past century. How can we anticipate the blooming of flowers, which vary depending on each region, town, or avenue? And why is flowering influenced by climate change?

Temperature and photoperiod are necessary for blooming.

According to one study, plants recognize seasonal change, which is affected by temperature and photoperiod (the length of light), and flowers bloom when they get the best conditions for flowering. So, diverse services announce the blossom season, except for the weather service after examining the highest temperature and the blooming day.

※ The weather service does announce the fluorescence of flowers; they do not predict the blossom season.
Services such as forest service and private weather services were provided starting in 2016.

What was the standard of the past blossoming day?

Weather services make seasonal observations that identify the progress of climate change through observation, analysis, and estimation of the sample tree. They have recorded the generation and fluorescence, full of blooming Japanese apricot flowers, forsythias, azaleas, and cherry blossoms with the naked eye.

Usually, full blooms are 2-3 days after fluorescence or around a week if they are late.
