Cherry blossoms officially bloomed this spring in Seoul on Sunday the 29th.
The Metropolitan Meteorological Administration announced that this year’s cherry blossoms in Seoul bloomed on Sunday, March 29, 6 days earlier than last year (April 4) and 10 days earlier than the average year (April 8).
The standard for cherry blossom blooming is when three or more flowers are in full bloom on any one standard tree.
Seoul’s official cherry blossom blooming is based on the observation standard tree (Yoshino cherry tree) designated within the Seoul Meteorological Observatory and has been observed since 1922.
