National Cherry Blossom Forecast

Every year the Japan Meteorological Agency predicts when the sakura will be in bloom across Japan. Cherry blossom season is a very important historical and cultural time in Japan. People have Ohanami parties under the cherry trees and travel to view beautiful places. Looks like it will be the end of March where I live.

It seems the flowers will last longer this year - do they expect the weather to cold??!! You will need a quilt and maybe an umbrella when you go sakura viewing this spring.
