How to guess the weather in the summer of blooming apple trees and wild cherry

Do you believe in weather lore? In general, I believe only in those marks that money :) But seriously, the recent climate turned upside down and notice that now the old beliefs do not always work!

But let's try a little glimpse into the chest of folk wisdom, only slightly raised the lid. Our ancestors noticed the connection between flowering trees or weather coming summer.

• If the buds began to blossom at a time when the leaves are still almost was not, to be hot and sunny summer.
• On the contrary: cherry, grow leaves first, and then - to reveal flowers, promises rainy summer.
• On bad weather "warning" and incredibly abundant flowering.

Not far behind in weather predictions and apple.

Look at the flowering apple trees in the gardens this year: it seems that all the branches are wrapped with white clouds. Anyway, we are here (Tver region). But, alas, it says moist and rich in the summer rainfall. If the branches of the flowers were rare, the weather should be established dry. The sudden falling off of apple petals may herald a cold June.
