World Weather in May 1 2
by amazondk- 51 replies

It seems there is not much interest in the weather in May around the globe. At least not being expressed in a monthly weather thread. Here in Northern Brazil the rains continue, the rivers are at record level. And, the damage is increasing as houses and cropland go under water. dk

Accuweather is wacked. 1 2
by Palmy- 51 replies
- 3.1k views
I check forecasts all the time on several different websites. But Meterologists at Accuweather are screwed up in the head, at least I hope. Accuweather has this forcasting system, where they reach out 15 days, which seems a little crazy if you as me. They seem accurate for the first 5 days, and sometimes the next five days. But between 10 days and 15 days, they are seriously wrong. They say that we are suppose to have snow and rain all the way out. It says that we will have temps in the mid to low 40's for highs and temps near 30 or lower for the lows. With snow and rain. They have to have some issues. Are the forcast models doing everything at this website? This cant…

More El Nino news 1 2
by John Case- 50 replies
- 3.3k views
I suggest that we all post our readings on El Nino here so we can get the best feel for the predictions that are coming faster (and furiouser?) as we begin weather that precedes the CA winter rainy season. I, for one, am unconvinced that there are a guarantee that there will be a bevy of gullywashers to save the state and cure the drought, but am hopeful that we will have more rain than what is considered normal. https://baynature.org/articles/today-in-el-nino-advice-dont-worry-about-the-blob/

Howdyall: I note that last night we were all yakking about how cold it was going to get, as I felt the temps at Ken Johnson's place here south of Miami fall and fall and fall. But, no evident cold damage, though more cold weather is expected for this evening/morning. But . . . Tampa, Orlando, JAX, Tallahassee, YIKE, it got cold there. So, how'd you all fare? Sounds like you were getting prepared . . . . Our joint crying towel is out and ready. dave

S. FL freeze !!??!? 1 2
by surgeon83- 49 replies
- 3.4k views
As I have mentioned before, I am hoping to move to FL next spring, but the question is where (and it partly depends on where I get interviewed). Anyway, althought my first choice has been Tampa (or perhaps commute from St. Pete), I am again considering Miami but I started looking into real estate in outlying towns to save money and get out of the ghetto. Tamarac, FL seems like a pretty clean place from the pictures I've seen BUT.... Weather.com says it got down to 21 there in 2/1995- and froze two other nights (at LEAST that were record-breakers) in that same month!!! Then in 2/1996 it froze three more nights that were record-breakers (low ->23). Pic…

Anyone know when the new USDA cold hardiness zone map will come out? I've seen a few articles about them making a new one a while ago, but haven't heard anything else on the matter. Anyone want to guess at what the changes will be? How far north would 11 go on Florida, or 10?

I know that it has snowed in Florida before, supposedly all the way down to Miami. What is the greatest accumulation you have ever seen in your area (Areas that you are trying to get palms to grow that is) including FL, TX, CA, Other states, Australia, South Africa, Other nations??? I remember seeing some pics on here of pretty decent snow on palms in Brownsville, TX. Sorry to sound stupid if it does not even snow in South Africa or Australia...

Average First Frost 1 2

- 1.6k views
Based on data from 1981-2010, the first frost in my area on average comes around November 6th. Here we are approaching December within the next couple of weeks with no temps in the 30's anywhere in the forecast! Looks like first frost maybe the very tail end of November or early December. Forecast models are hinting at maybe a frost coming on December 5th, which is literally almost a whole month past the average date.

California November Weather Thread 1 2
by osideterry- 47 replies
- 3.5k views
November is a month where our all time record highs are well into the 90s and our lows have seen 29F (Oceanside Airport). We have more sunshine days in November than any other month of the year. At 11:45am my sensor is reading 88.2F, and it was 47F at 7 this morning. It's too hot to do yard work, and so dry you keep dehydrating which can lead to a nasty headache. Loving the heat though, and living with the lows.

The Cold Weather blues 1 2

It happens every year about this time. Around Nov 15th we get our first frost and it was a few days late this year, but now it's quite chilly. I was just outside for a garden walk and it's so chilley I'm back here at the computer. Just darn uncomfortable to work outside. The low last night was 32F and there was a white frost this morning. Worst, they are forcasting a low of 28 later in the week. I always panic when I see a forcast near 32 F degrees. I should get used to it because it happens every year here. I know at 28F the cannas will be burned to the ground, the bannas, etc, but the palms will still stand untouched. All of my tender palms in pots are under a…

Tampa, St. Petersburg, FL weather archives 1 2
by surgeon83- 46 replies
- 3.8k views
Hello, I am hoping someone can guide me to a source of free weather archives specifically for the Tampa / St. Petersburg, Florida areas. I have the monthly average temperatures and record highs and lows from weather.com, but I was hoping for an archive of daily temperatures dating back to about 1948 (which I think would be the earliest for St. Pete). I have data like this for Galveston, and it is really great to have. Thanks in advance for your help. -Brian
