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…

THEN IN THE MONDAY TO MONDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME...A MUCH STRONGER STORM SYSTEM IS PROJECTED TO SPREAD WIND AND RAIN ACROSS THE DISTRICT WITH COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUING ON TUESDAY...AND SNOW LEVELS POTENTIALLY LOWERING DOWN TO THE 2500-3000 FT RANGE. ALSO...GIVEN THE MODEL PROJECTED STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD AIR ALOFT...ALONG WITH LATE MARCH DIURNAL HEATING...WILL NEED TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AS WE GET CLO…

Crazy Santa Ana Winds in Otay Mesa, CA

I took these pics at the stoplight in front of my office while going for a bite to eat. I have never seen Washies' fronds with their leaf bases (even old ones) detach from their trunk due to winds. The gusts here are extraordinarily strong.

Crazy microclimate in East Austin (not the good kind)
by DreaminAboutPalms- 3 replies
- 515 views
This morning when I woke up at 5AM it was 41 degrees in North Austin where I live near the domain, I drive out to Manor 15 miles or so east off 290 to golf and it is 34 degrees at the manor weather station and 32 right outside the clubhouse. I begin talking with this other member who lives on the course in the shadowglen neighborhood off hole #11, and he has the app on his phone connected to a temperature gauge in his backyard. He began explaining to me how the area around his house is significantly colder than the temperature at the clubhouse, and he showed me this mornings temperature reading of 25.6 at 6:37AM, and showed me weather data for the whole month reveali…

Hearing Mauna Loa is stirring again.. Figured it might be wise to launch a thread on it, just in case.. Hopefully this will be a small, and non-threatening eruption.. 🤞

There's several more days of rain expected . I've had about 5.6" here since last Friday , including one burst of 3.2" in a little over one hour . That caused some localized flooding here in Holly Hill . During that one , some water got into the garage , which unfortunately sits below the elevation of the house and driveway . You may need to right click the video , to make it run . Rainy day in Holly Hill... by Bill H, on Flickr

Does anyone here have any good recommendations on frost cloth? I bought one to cover a small, tender cactus in the yard and it literally frosted both on top of and under the cloth during a radiative frost. Clearly a crappy product.

cold wave science
by flplantguy- 6 replies
- 500 views
Ever since the freeze at christmas i have been wondering about cold waves and penninsular florida, specifically the science behind the power of a cold wave like 1989 vs 2022. The media called 2022 the coldest since 1989, even equated the two (and up north where i grew up this one was colder), but in florida at least they were very different. Was the difference meerely chance, was the media being excessive in their description, or was that freeze the new normal for us in florida, specifically central and south where the water has more impact? Im in Hudson about 2 miles inland, but far enough north that its not in the city really, so any change to my advantage would be gr…

That stated, there have been no extreme low temperatures but a rather constant march of low temperatures in the lower 40sF. The median temperatures of 56.52F, 57.01F and 54.68F provide the reasons for the inability to grow the truly tropical species, except for those renowned microclimates. Texas has been inflicted once again by the unfor…
