We have a cherry blossom tree. It bloomed a week earlier than last year. We’re not in Kyoto but I did notice and it’s a bit strange. I also noticed some other blossoming trees that typically bloom for about a week, went green after 3 days.
Anecdotes like that with a 1 year horizon.. that's what we call weather.
A 1200 year time series.. that's climate.
Much shorter periods can of course also be considered as such. I suppose exactly how short is subject to some debate.
