The AP had this story, and we tend to hear quite a bit about it. Do you think it's alot of political/ News Media hype? Or do you think it's real? Scientists Predict Southwest Mega-Drought Added: Apr 8th, 2007 1:42 PM Climate models indicate region will be as dry as Dust Bowl for decades The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Changing climate will mean increasing drought in the American Southwest — a region where water already is in tight supply — according to a new study. “The bottom line message for the average person and also for the states and federal government is that they’d better start planning for a Southwest region in which the water resources are increa…

Calling Jim from San An - syersj

Hey Jim: Since I pretty much consider you the native weatherman on TX , what's your outlook on this weekend? ??? I hear of a front coming in with lots of rain here in Houston. Wasn't liking the sound of it since my folks are coming in from Baton Rouge and we were going to hang by the pool and enjoy Easter. And not to mention I've pulled some palms out of protection and might need to do some shuffling. Is it going to be as bad as this last storm? Thanks, Michael

Long and Lat 1 2
by wendisplantation- 61 replies
- 4.1k views
Hello all! I have a question re long and lat. Is it reasonable to expect that if I have a friend that is the same basic distance from prime meridian and equator, but opposite (me in the Northern hem and they in the southern) , that we could grow similar things, altitude being similar as well? I realize there is a lot more to it than just that, but I am curious if one could use long and lat to judge whether or not to TRY a particular species. There are so many plams that I want to try, but I have to pick and choose wisely because my makeshift greenhouse is fills up fast when 'winter' is coming.... Thanks ???

Moving to sunny South Africa
by ed110220- 6 replies

Next year I will be moving to Richards Bay in South Africa which is exciting as hopefully it will mean I will be able to grow a lot of plants I cannot at the moment. I've never been up there and though I know the climate is described as subtropical I'm not sure exactly what this means will be happy up there. Also, being from the Mediterranean Western Cape I have no experience of subtropical gardening so it will probably be a steep learning curve. Richards Bay lies at about 28 degrees South and about 150 km North East of Durban. It has never recorded frost and most of the rain falls in summer. I'm guessing the climate will be somewhat similar to that of South Florida or…

Nature Runs Riot In Europe's Very Warm Winter by Emmanuel Angleys Paris (AFP) March 16, 2007 Wheat harvested a month early, markets bursting with prematurely ripened produce, animals migrating too soon or not at all -- Europe's warmest winter on record has made nature run amok, experts across the continent have reported. With average temperatures in the three winter months of December through February more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above average in most European countries, the environment's biological clock has been thrown off kilter, they say. In Italy, emerging from the mildest winter in more than two centuries according to Bologna's Institut…

As forecast, today turned quite warm with many readings in the 90's [hot spot in LA area was Beverly Hills @ 97F/36.1c]. Pattern looks set for more heat into the week though cooling down to near normal temps by late in the week. I could feel the warm-up overnight as the temp rose from 61F/16.1c at midnight to 66F/18.8c by 4:00 AM and soared shortly after sunrise. Extremely low dew point temps & relative humidity [single digits] and gusty winds have produced the usual wild fires [the worst blaze in Santa Ana Mts near Anaheim Tonight should stay at or above 70F/21c in foothill locations with possibly hotter maximums tomorrow. Great for the palms so long a…
