Abnormally Early Blooms of Washington’s Cherry Trees due to Warm March

Story Highlights

  • Abnormally warm March accelerates cherry blossoms in Washington
  • Peak bloom at Tidal Basin two weeks earlier than usual
  • Thousands flock to witness the splendid spring spectacle

Cherry Blossoms in Washington

An abnormally warm March has led to the cherry blossoms in Washington reaching their second-earliest peak bloom in over a century. The mild weather has attracted thousands of visitors to the Tidal Basin to witness the blossoms at their peak.

What is Peak Bloom?

Peak bloom is the day when 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms are in full bloom, according to Cherry Blossom Watch. The Yoshino variety is the most abundant and well-known type of cherry tree near the Tidal Basin. When horticulturists predict peak bloom between specific dates, it indicates the expected period when the 70% threshold will be crossed.

It’s important to note that peak bloom doesn’t mean the flowers will remain at their peak for the entire duration.

Past Data and Trends

Historical data shows that peak bloom dates in recent years have varied. In 2023, peak bloom was on March 23, in 2022 on March 21, in 2021 on March 28, and in 2020 on March 20. This year, the unusually warm March has resulted in temperatures averaging more than 9 degrees above normal, making it the second warmest on record.

The favorable forecast suggests that visitors may have the opportunity to enjoy the cherry blossoms for an extended period. The Tidal Basin was bustling with people capturing the beauty of the blossoms through photographs and selfies.
