Exotic Life Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hi, Today it's very hot ... it's almost 34 C now (93F), tomorrow it's gonna be unsually hot the sya for the netherlands, the expect 37C (98F). For so far, it's a very hot,sunny and dry summer ! This month we don't have got anay rain yet, also june was dry with 3 day's that we have got some little rain. If this means the world climate is chaning, then i like it very much ! But the farmers here not, they can't give water tot the crops, because every where the water level is to low .. sow a lot of crops is dying or see very yellow. Grassfield, turned totally brown, and tree's losing the leaves to survive ... My exotics love this weather ! Greetz robbin Southwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the hole day is sun shining. The give for this weekend and after this weekend tempetures between the 28C/82.4F and 32C/89.6F. So like Neofolis say it also here to warm for the seasonal average.

I can't recall seeing a dewpoint that high here before, it's normally about 15°C/59°F maximum. Then the rain hit stupidly hard for about 5 minutes and the temperature dropped to 19°C/66°F.

JEFF IN MODESTO Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 You guys crack me up! You haven't even seen unusual heat compared to Californias central valley. Here in Modesto...AKA ScottPettersonville, I had a low of 86f this morning after a high temp yesterday of 108f. We had a dewpoint of 70f...which is unheard in this area. True... we do normally get a day or two each month during the summer where we get 100f or above, but our normal summer high is close to Miami's. Btw... We have had over 20 days this year over 100f. It hasn't effected any of my palms....most of which are in the full sun. ( Except my Kentia ) They include Kings, Foxtails, Parajubea Cocoides, Ceroxylon Alpinum and various dypsis. Oh yea... you heard that right... Parajubea Cocoides and Ceroxylon Alpinum.... in the full sun with temps approaching 110f everyday for a full 2 weeks and zero damage. Based on my experiances... they should do just fine in full sun in desert areas such as Phoenix and Palm Springs.

bgl Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah, we are not impressed yet! You guys probably have another month or so before you hit the REAL heatwaves! Makes me think of one flight into Tucson many years ago (1979 I believe). That was back in the days when you actually stepped off the plane, and walked down ONTO the ramp. As we did so, at 9 pm (=21:00), the captain announced it was 104F!! (Exactly 40C), It may have cooled off a few degrees by early the next morning, but I still vividly remember the high the next day: 118F/48C. I'm sure we have some AZ members on the Forum who can elaborate?? Bo And the funny thing is of course that here WE are on the Big Island, the southernmost location in any of the 50 states, and possibly with one of the most pleasant climates.... Right now, at 1:20 p.m. Sat afternoon, it's bright sunshine and 82F/28C.... And a pleasant tradewind breeze....! I don't even have the ceiling fan on!
