Yep. It was Noon. Just as I predicted 🤓

🌸BREAKING: The cherry blossoms have reached peak bloom at the Tidal Basin. This is tied for the second earliest peak on record -- in large part because of abnormally warm weather, fueled by climate change.🌸

Almost to peak. Probably, by Noon.

Time lapse of cherry blossom buds speeding thru first four stages of bloom -- "peduncle elongation" is the latest. Should reach peak over next week!

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

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

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

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.
