Because of climate change, the famous cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., are blooming on average about five days earlier (for the period 1981-2010) than they were during the period 1931-1960.
April Fools! The cherry blossoms are just about done blooming this year, about a week earlier than the average peak bloom date for that 1981-2010 period.
Another indication that nothing is normal anymore.
