Rodrigo Coelho
Japan
The Sakura blossoms are dependant on the wind, rain, and temperature, which can make the blossoms appear either earlier or later than average and can lengthen or shorten the blooming season, making the cherry blossom forecast vary a little every year.
Blooming typically occurs between late March and early April throughout most of Japan. The regions with the milder winter climate usually produce earlier bloomer trees because it needs to be cold and then get warm for the trees to understand it is spring and start blooming.
