High Parkの桜の開花を宣言します。5月1日。
今日、坂に沿った桜並木の一部の花が開花しているのを確認しました。  
寒波のせいで4月17日に発信した最終開花予想範囲4月26日+/-2日より3日遅れです。
今日の数値に今日の長期予報の数値を使って再計算すると満開のピークは5月8日+/-2日とでます。

【朗報】Pandemicの為に過去2年間はHigh Parkの桜並木は閉鎖されました。
今年は例年通り桜を楽しむ事が出来るそうです。ただしその期間、車は公園には入れません。

All,

[] [Now Blooming : May 1] Nobby's Fearless Prediction of Cherry Blossoms at High Park

I declare that the cherry flowers in the High Park started blooming today. May 1.
Today (May 1), finally, a few flowers started opening up on the cherry trees along the trail on the slope.
Due to the cold snap, this is 3 days later than the FINAL prediction range of April 26 +/- 2 days that I sent out on April 17.
Recalculating using today's figure and the long range forecast, the peak of the full bloom seems to be on May 8 +/- 2 days.

[Good news] Due to the pandemic, the cherry blossom areas in the High Park were closed for the last 2 years.
This year, they will be open to the public for all of us to enjoy again. 
However, the park will be closed for vehicle traffic during the blooming period.
You can watch the cherry trees  at High Park live at "High Park Cherry Blossom Cam" below.
(Come with the YouTube type commercials).

* The blooming of the cherry blossoms at High Park is normally a few days later than the cherry blossoms in the inner-city such as at the University of Toronto.



The flowers started blooming today, May 1 / Still a long way to go for the full bloom.


* The definition of the blooming is that at least 5 to 6 flowers on at least two trees each among the three pre-chosen trees bloom.
* Full bloom means the condition where 90% of the flowers are in full bloom.
