Early Jacaranda Bloom in Mexico City Signals Climate Change Concerns

Residents and scientists alarmed as jacarandas flower in winter, deviating from their usual spring bloom.

Jacarandas in Mexico City, known for their vibrant purple blooms in spring, have started flowering in early January, sparking debates on climate change.
Scientists attribute the early bloom to rising temperatures, marking an early end to winter in mid-January.
The phenomenon has increased public awareness about climate change, with residents expressing concern over the unusual timing.
Local researchers are collecting data and using satellite imagery to study the correlation between climate change and the early flowering of jacarandas.
Jacarandas, not native to Mexico but vital for attracting hummingbirds and bees, could see a decrease in these populations due to the change in flowering patterns.
