The Japanese have been recording the time of the cherry blossom for 1200 years. There are different types of cherry, for example the Taiwanese one which blooms a few weeks before the Japanese one. If you look at the traditionally conserved Japanese cherry, it appears to be blooming earlier and earlier in the past ~150 years. Is there a scientific explanation for this phenomenon?

Warmer temperatures earlier in the year because of global warming. Duh.

seems like its all within the normal range of variance. Its all widely spread around april, from beginning to end

That's not the same data.

That's just cherrypicked data.

>the normal range of variance
OP here, can you help me calculate that? I don't understand enough statistics to judge if it's normal or not.

No that's not it. The Japanese are extremely autistic with their rules which cherry tree counts for the sakura and which one doesn't. There are some that already stopped blooming last week, but officially it hasn't started yet because their genetically pure trees still have not bloomed.

The date of the blossoming is not some accurate event that happens every year on the same date, it happens roughly in the same month, and its just as likely to happen on the 1st of april, the middle or the end of the month. The distribution is WIDE and any alleged "trend" is an order of magnitude smaller than the conventional range of variation.
Its like saying in some place the average winter temperature range is from 0 to 20 degrees celsius with an average of 10 but the for two years in a row the average was 10.1 degrees, it doesnt mean anything
