The fire smoke has been so bad this summer that even the moon is orange. Good news is the winds are changing tonight with offshore winds blowing all that smoke away. Hugh cool down also. Sorry, not the best picture but you get the idea.

We're having a nice cleansing rain this evening that is highly unusual for this time of year. It's a nice surprise. I wish the rainbow showed up in the picture better. Its color was brilliant.

Does anyone know of or recommend any small dataloggers that can record temperature, humidity, and pH as well? I have been unable to find one that can record all 3 thus far.

Hilo 48 degrees low temp?
by CLINODAVE- 1 reply
- 847 views
National Weather Service indicated a low temperature of 48 degrees at the Hilo Intl Airport for March 6, 2013. No other nearby stations recorded anything other than the low 50s. Hilo has never recorded a temp below 53 degrees, to the best of my knowledge. Does this make sense to any of you other East Hawaii palm growers?

Update from my friend Dr. Dewey as the UNL School of Natural Resources. We're still ahead of the curve. Besides the drought data below, we're a full half a degree warmer than the warmest year on record (1934) for January-July, and it doesn't look like it's going to go down any time soon. July 2012 was the 2nd driest and 7th warmest on record for Lincoln, NE. The Lincoln data record spans 126 years from 1887-2012. The above maps show that Lincoln was in the center of a large region of below normal precipitation and they were also part of a large region that had well above normal temperatures for the month of July 2012.

California heat wave breaking
by DoomsDave- 1 reply
- 311 views
California seeks energy conservation for 10th day in heat wave (msn.com) This has been a baddie. Other heat waves have been hotter, but a lot shorter. In Sept. 2020 I had about 112 F on Labor Day weekend (and a lot of people bought palms anyway!) but it was only a couple-three days. This time it's been hot since Sept. 1 with no letup yet. Supposedly that 'cane from Mexico will cool things down, but we'll see. Any one have any heat wave stories?

The Bahamas and Cuba
by bubba- 1 reply

Using the Wunderground product to check around some other locations. Obviously,it has been cool in Florida for this time of year.However,that coolness is not limited to just Florida. Prowling around with the Wundermap,I see many spots in the Bahamas are only in the high 60's and even Habana and much of Cuba is in the lower 70's during the afternoon. That is Cool stuff.I bet they are loving that!

Brahea armata

I planted one in 94 and its nearly 7' tall. Roughly when will it flower? I appreciate that will depend on many factors. It is in a warm, sunny position. I have certainly seen a few in flower at 10' and once in Spain at only 8' or so. Any opinions or is that an impsosible question? Many thanks for your help guys. Regardez Juan

01/30/07 Freeze Damage
by Tag- 1 reply
- 964 views
Well, I thought that I had gotten out of this unscathed, but apperantly not. My two king palms are showing around 35 - 40 % leaf damage. This is very surprising to me. They survived 26 last year with frost and similar damage. We only got down to 30.2 last night, there was visible frost on the ground, but I did not notice any on these two palms. There was definitely frost on a C. Ochlandra, Pigmy Date, and Foxtail, but there is no noticaeable damage on any of those. I know that they'll pull through and look fine in a few months because they grow like weeds, but I thought they would be undamaged after last year. I am worried about the damage getting worse too, there …

San Diego area microclimates
by displaced_floridian- 1 reply
- 1.5k views
When looking up climate statistics, San Diego appears to have about the best climate for human comfort in the continental US. Jan. (coolest month) avg. 65/49, and Aug.(warmest month) 76/67. This seems almost ideal. But, these temps are only in a very small area of extreme coastal SD. Go inland just a few miles and you have a very different climate, with much higher highs and lower lows. Go North 20 miles and you also have lower lows and higher highs. Valleys and ridgetops also have a big impact. San Diego hasn't had a freeze since 1950, I think, but El Cajon, only about 15 mi. inland, freezes about every < 10 yrs with a January avg of 68/42 and August avg of 88/64. Som…
