As usual for here the first day of spring was lovely and warm and the night reasonably mild in comparison to what I have been experiencing. 34mm of rain this week, no more freezing wind either. All is right with the world. I have dusted off the spade and been planting palms and few other pretties. Now my spending fingers are getting itchy and my baby blues are on the alert for fresh prey to purchase. Peachy

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…

This should be a month of changes North and South. October is traditionally a very warm month here in Louisiana, but we have a cold front due in tonight and a cool start to the month with a low of 61 tonight and 56 tomorrow night. After a long hot summer, I have to say it feels good.

Highest Winter Temperatures-08/09 1 2 3 4

With all the dire predictions of Global Cooling and new Ice Ages and Great Freezes,it only seems practical to look empirically at the Highest Highs and the Highest Lows experienced in the Continental US.Perhaps this can calm us down,cancel suicide hotlines and generally ease our collective conciousness as we hurtle towards the abyss. Last year Florida won going away with Texas a close second. One observation regarding Texas is just how hot it can get. 90's pop up numerous times.California and Arizona were suprisingly cool. We may be seeing a flip/flop this year as the West has been quite warm compared to Texas and Florida. Will it hold up? Dec.1,2008-MH-Riverside,C…

So I am not exaggerating when I say that this spring has been the coldest on record and the absolute worst that I have ever endured. It has been absolutely dreadful here, even by UK standards. The whole of the UK and most of Europe has been affected by unseasonably low temperatures for about 6-7 weeks now, since early April. The whole of 2021 has been pretty bad for here and the rest of Europe with below average temperatures and snow/freeze events in both January and February. Although March was okay and marginally above average, temperature-wise, both April and May have turned out to be the coldest spring months on record for the UK and most of Europe. I have spoke…

I thought I'd start an Aug 08 weather thread as no one has done it yet. It's cool but sunny here in West Oz. It's meant to be sunny nearly every day right up until at least mid Aug. Not bad for winter, but I could do with spring right now. Best regards Tyrone

Future USDA Map 1 2 3

Unfortunately my computer crashed last year and it looks like I have lost a few things. I had a USDA map of 2012 and a (NOAA I think) simulation of what the map was predicted to look like in 2035 or 2040. I scoured the internet tonight trying to find it but I came up empty. Does anyone happen to have this map or a link to where it is found? Thanks

November ended warm and December is starting that way. Supposed to see a cooldown tomorrow but nothing too serious. The palms have slowed down now despite at least 2 straight weeks of mid 80's for highs and mid 60's for lows with a fair amount of humidity. This leads me to believe that a lot of palms' push to grow comes from the sun angle and intensity more than the temps this time of year. Everything is still slowly growing though. Rain would be nice. I don't think I had measurable rainfall in November...Hope December brings mild temps with some rain.

December weather 1 2 3 4

Well it's December. How is it so far for you. Today we had a top of 27C, tomorrow will be 31C with evening showers, and then mid twenties with rain for another couple of days. Normally Decembers are totally dry with very rare rain for us. This summer may be a wet one, which will be nice. Palms are starting to really leap ahead now even though Nov was a full 2C cooler than usual. Best regards Tyrone

No changes on the long range forecast, a very slight drop in temperatures but generally continuing to be unseasonally mild. This morning at 06:34 it is 13°C/55°F, which is a few degrees warmer than forecast.

Miami And The Tropic Of Cancer 1 2
by Rick Santos- 2 followers

I realize the Tropic of Cancer is an important area on the earth. What makes the sun appear directly overhead on the summer solstice? I know the tilt of the earth has something to do with it but : *Is the curve of the earth steeper or different in that part of the world and that also contributes? It appears so when you look at Miami and the tropics ( from the side ) of a Google Earth download * Is it necessary to go somewhat below the Tropic of Cancer to get tropical level sunlight intensity, vegetation etc. or is Miami close enough to the tropic line to get those benefits most of the year? *If you had to compare latitude 25 N to the true official tr…

Detailed Weather Zone Map for San Diego County

I picked up today's paper and there is a detailed weather zone map for San Diego. My home in Bonita is at the junction of zone 24 and 25 so one of the warmer areas in San Diego county. It also helps that I am up on a significant hill with cold weather drainage. I though others might want to see the map so I scaned it and I hope it loads. Patrick
