![The Black Eagles, the Korean Air Force’s demonstration team, files over Seoul to celebrate the start of the cherry blossom festival in Yeouido, Seoul. The festival officially kicked off Tuesday and will run through Sunday. However, due to the unseasonably warm spring, around 500,000 people a day flocked to Yeouido's cherry blossoms last weekend. Temperatures in Seoul usually peaks at 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit) this time of year. However, temperatures have recently risen to 27 degrees Celsius, usually seen in early June.
