Does anyone have any ideas for helping a Lipstick Palm that has suffered from cold damage? My outdoor heater broke and my Lipstick Palm was exposed to a temperature of 41 Degrees Fahrenheit for several hours. It now shows some brown areas on the palm fronds which resemble burns. I appreciate any suggestions. By Gregg L. Friedman MD

Warm 2019 In South Texas

2019 was a good year for tropical plant lovers in the Rio Grande Valley. Information that is available on the National Weather Service Brownsville, TX website sheds light on how warm 2019 was in the eastern RGV. After reviewing the Monthly Climate Summaries for Brownsville (the Airport area to be exact), I found that November 12th 2019 set the record low for the year at 38°. January 2019 was the coldest month overall at a mean temperature of 62.8°. For 2019, Brownsville fell into the 10B hardiness zone! Additionally, we were only 1.2° shy of falling into Köppen tropical climate classification for the year! Definitely loved this relatively warm time, fortunately our …

Found great weather website

This may not be a new website but I just found it today and I reckon it's awesome. windy.com It's very detailed and for the entire planet as well. I'm especially interested in the humidity side of things. It can predict when and where a high heat, low humidity event will happen and I should be able to adjust the sprayers in my shade house to come on and counteract it in theory.

After one of the driest and hottest summers, both categories likely coming in within the top 10 this year, the first day.. and week of Autumn arrived yesterday quite dramatically across Arizona.. Thanks in part to a duo of dying tropical systems ( Lorena and Mario ) moving into a favorable position in/ around Baja Sur, and an anonymously strong, and early low pressure area that rode down the east side of the Sierras yesterday, and is currently anchored, but wobbling over Puerto Penasco ( what happens when one sips too much Patron silver, lol ) Arizona recorded not one but 3 Tornadoes.

1780 Barbados Hurricane/Earthquake ?
by bubba- 2 replies
- 654 views
The October 1780 Barbados Hurricane was one of the most vicious ever recorded. Wind speeds were calculated at over 200 MPH and the entire island was defoliated. The bulk of the British Fleet was stationed in the Barbados and was destroyed but this Hurricane went on to destroy a large part of the British Fleet in other places in the Carribean ( Cuba, Martinique,Saint Lucia...). It was almost like a heat seeking missile. This Hurricane almost in one swoop ended British Naval dominance over the Atlantic. In the Barbados during the worst of this Hurricane, there were reports of an earthquake. This claim seemed to be simply too outlandish. However, new scientific res…

Is this huge difference in tempatures in Coastal Southern California and Inland Southern California from the ocean and the mountains? How high are these mountains? Every time I look at a tempature map of the U.S. I see how much cooler it is in Coastal California than Inland California, which I know is a desert. Does Coastal California ever seem chilly out at some times around this time of year? Out of curiosity I sometimes compare tempatures of here and places like San Diego or Los Angeles and a lot of the time it is warmer here (during the day) in the Spring time. For people who live in these places, what does it feel like out? It looks like Southern California has all k…

What exactly are sunset climate zones? I tried to look it up and basically every site just says, "it takes in all the factors of growing in a climate" and then doesn't really explain it. Is a higher number good or bad? What's the scale?
