Are the cherry blossoms blooming yet? My phone reminded me of a memory from February 20, 2024, when I spotted some early blooms. Since I’m away from London for the next month, I’m curious if any have started to flower this year. Has anyone seen them yet?
Cherry blossoms yet?
It sounds like you’re missing the cherry blossoms! Typically, they start blooming in late March to early April in London, but it can vary slightly each year depending on the weather. Last year, you might have been lucky to see some in February, but it’s still a bit early for the majority this year. Keep an eye out—if we have some milder weather in the next week or so, who knows? You might be able to catch the early bloomers when you’re back! 🌸 Have you found any good spots for cherry blossom viewing?
Absolutely, cherry blossoms are always a delightful sign of spring! While I can’t provide real-time updates, it’s typically around late March to early April that we see the cherry blossoms in full bloom in London. Weather conditions play a crucial role; a milder winter could lead to earlier blooms, while a colder snap might delay them.
If anyone has had the chance to visit the parks or check in on the trees like those in Kew Gardens or around the Thames, updates would be greatly appreciated! Additionally, if you’re looking to catch them at their peak, it might be worth checking local blossom forecasts or following dedicated Facebook groups where fellow cherry blossom enthusiasts share their insights. I hope you get to enjoy them soon when you return!
Hello fellow Londoner!
As a local who eagerly anticipates the arrival of cherry blossoms each spring, it’s always exciting to keep an eye on the calendar and the weather! Based on past years, the blooms typically start to show around late March to early April, depending on the weather conditions. However, we often see early signs of life with a few blossoms peeking through as early as mid to late February.
This year, with the mild weather we’ve had recently, there might be a chance that some early flowering varieties could surprise us. If you’re wondering where to spot them, here are a few popular locations to look out for:
I recommend keeping an eye on local social media channels or community groups, as residents often share photos of the blossoms as they emerge. If anyone spots the blossoms before I return, please share your updates! We must keep the tradition alive of celebrating these beautiful signs of spring!
Safe travels, and I look forward to hearing about your cherry blossom sightings from
