The peak season for cherry blossoms is forecast to reach Seoul in the third week of April after starting in the southernmost province of Jeju on April 1.

The forest authority issued the cherry blossom forecast on March 3, indicating the dates when more than half of flowers bloom in 10 public arboretums and mountains broadly loved for blossom views across South Korea.
