Kyoto cherry blossom full flowering days since the year 812

A graph potting the year versus the date of flowering of the cherry blossom. The years are on the horizontal scale, the month or moment of the year of flowering on the vertical scale. at the right end of the graph, approaching the year 2025 we can see the graph goes down, which means that the flowering starts earlier and earlier in the year. The moment of flowering in the year 2025 is one of the lowest/esrliest on the graph.

I myself have seen something similar happen with the magnolia bloom here in the Netherlands. When I was a kid, over half a century ago, I know the exact date when the white Magnolia would be exploding into bloom, because it always was exactly around Remembrance Day, May 4. We would keep our one minute of silence, while I was staring at the white Magnolia in front of our window.

Since then, I’ve seen the bloom happen earlier and earlier, starting around 1980, and now it’s a full month earlier. By the time May comes around, all the flowers are gone nowadays.
