On March 17, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory announced that "we observed the flowering of cherry blossoms (Yoshino cherry tree)".
In March, there were days when the temperature was around 20 ° C, and the production of buds seemed to have accelerated due to the recent warm weather.
Nine days earlier than normal and four days earlier than last year, the third early blooming after March 16, 2002 and 2013, which were the earliest flowering in records since 1953.
The maximum temperature in the city center on this day was 12.1 ° C, which was lower than normal for the first time in seven days, but the cherry blossom season is finally coming.
The buds began to open in the Yoshino cherry tree of Otohime no Hiroba on the east side of Nihonbashi Kitazume.
The weeping cherry tree in front of the Nihonbashi police box on the east side of Nihonbashi Minamizume is at its best.
