"Tracking DC's Cherry Blossoms: Peak Bloom Imminent"
TL;DR
The cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin in Washington are one stage away from peak bloom, likely to occur between Monday and Wednesday, making it the third earliest on record. Unseasonably warm weather has accelerated the bloom process, with temperatures running 8.5 degrees above normal in March. The likelihood of an early bloom aligns with recent trends driven by climate change, with the average peak advancing about six days over the past century.
