日本樱花今年将在何时盛开？
想去日本旅游的你，是不是也在琢磨根据这个时间安排行程？
随着春天的临近，日本的天气预报员们将面临每年最重要的一项任务：预测樱花盛开的准确日期，很多人会按照樱花季的时间规划自己的行程。
要预测樱花何时盛开，最基本的是要基于大规模的气温数据集合。
日本的一家天气新闻公司的数据来源于1万名日本各地的市民定期发送的樱花花蕾照片。
通过观察花蕾，就能给出樱花盛开时间的准确信息。
公司一位女发言人说："如果没有这个系统，我们就无法预测樱花盛开的时间。
”为了提高预测的准确性，预测机构还使用了数字模型等方法，还有一家公司甚至开始使用人工智能进行预测。
所以只要密切关注相关的预测平台发布的信息，你就一定不会错过美丽的樱花！
