Thermometers in California
by Tracy- 0 replies
- 522 views
I was planning on buying a couple of outdoor thermometers so I could track the highs and lows in different parts of my garden instead of just one spot with my old standard mercury thermometer. I wanted to purchase a traditional mercury thermometer with max and min readings recorded. When I began searching I found that California banned mercury tube thermometers, something I vaguely remember reading in the press. While they are still available online in other states, it seems they can't be shipped legally into California. I tried a digital which I used for a while, but the display didn't last long (acquired a big box). I called what I thought would be a good source i…

Southwestern U.S. and California Spring and Summer 2023 Wx ....The "Seasons of many questions" ahead thread..
by Silas_Sancona- 0 replies
- 212 views
After what has been quite a remarkable, and completely out-of-the-blue winter, that doesn't seem to want to end as we head into the spring, just what lies ahead this year.. Simply put, lots of questions.. ***How quickly will the low desert snap from our extended mild/ occasionally showery ( and snowy ) pattern, to the frying pan? *** Will California whiplash from the present and persistent cool / cold / wet pattern to hot and dry -by their standards-, or will " Nice / ideal Spring Weather" keep getting kicked down the road until ...June...? If the state does head into a prolonged warm / hot episode, how will this effect how quickly a gi- normus amount of snow…

Frost warning app?
by Than- 0 replies
- 127 views
I bet this question has been asked before but new apps are created every day so it's worth asking. I am looking for a weather app that sends a warning/notification when frost is expected in my area. Not freeze (below 0C), cos that is easy; I am talking about frost that can happen even above 0C / 32 F. Does such an app exist? I know meteo stations can do that but those that do usually are quite costly.

Hello! My lifelong quest would be to have rough requirement tables in Wikipedia for a quick lookup for the palm trees to grow, what temperatures it can grow in, what extreme conditions it can grow in, and more difficult - a map representation where that species could potentially grow (with possibly some color scale on how difficult it is for a palm tree to grow there). If you have good resources for such material, especially for the maps, maybe some already exist (I've not found a map yet which shows where Arecaceae grow in the world) please let me know, any information is really helpful!

Watering the garden with HomeKit (for smarthome users)

I installed a micro-drip system from Gardena last week in combination with the Eve aqua. Now the bamboo is watered automatically and it also checks the weather forecast whether it is needed at all. Of course this solution is more expensive than a traditional timer for instance, but it is nice to have it automated so you do not have to keep an eye on it. More for the people that already automated parts of their house. 😇

August 26,1949 Hurricane
by bubba- 0 replies
- 835 views
On August 26,1949 another Hurricane hit the Palm Beach area with a path very similar to the September 16,1928 Hurricane. Specifically, it was another Cape Verde Storm that hit Palm Beach and it's environs and traveled through the Glades and Lake Okeechobee. The Army Corp. had built dykes around the Lake by this time and there was no catastrophe related to water like there was in the 1928 storm in the Glades. It was not classified as a Great Hurricane like the 1928 storm by the US Weather Bureau, which is interesting because top winds were officially measured at 153 MPH. The minimum pressure was 28.17 inches. The 1928 storm according to "authorities" had a lower wind spee…

It's just like a copy, becaus…

So I'm looking up "Calfiornia Hurricanes" - only four storms to affect California since 1900. 'Marie' certainly made her mark in Orange and LA Counties in late August (just recently). Last night Norbert became a Cat 3 off Central Baja only for a few hours. I was kinda hoping for some remnant action this weekend - cloud cover, humidity, . . . and some T&L activity. Sunshine is great don't get me wrong - but I've grown to like 'mexican' weather!

Climatologist from Jet Propulsion Lab points out the cold nature of these storms. For example, recorded the first sub-50 minimum for the month last night when it was partly cloud [49F\ 9.4C]. That's cold during storm conditions. Colleagues: Here is my take on whether these storms are El Nino. I'm interested in your ideas on this. While the rest of the country has been battered by strong, cold outbreaks bringing storms over the past two weeks, snow and frigid temperatures, California remained mild and dry. Now it's our turn. Riding an extremely strong (200+ mile/hour) jet stream out of the Gulf of Alaska, a conveyor belt of 3 or 4 very strong and wet s…

Summer drought see some rain today.

After two months of no rain we finally got 7 hours of rain today with 1.26 inch. Going to be balmy this weekend with the return of the sun. Long range looks like no rain till mid or late September. High yesterday was 85F, today 63F and rainy, lovely rain that will surely give all the plants a nice boost of new growth. Could be a drier warmer winter ahead if everything lines up for a supper El nino especially warmer Dec and Jan. for the PNW.

Wet drought in WA, OR and yes CA
by Palm crazy- 0 replies

Interesting article from R.S. (raw story) website. The desiccated soils and barren slopes of California have grabbed news headlines for months on end as the state is in its fourth year of a crippling drought that has forced unprecedented statewide water restrictions and billions of dollars in agricultural losses. But while most eyes have been trained on the plight of the Golden State, its neighbors to the north are also facing a dearth of water, victims of some of the same atmospheric forces that have left California parched. Oregon and Washington aren’t currently in the same dire straits as California, having at least received a fair bit of rain this winter, but t…
