79 degree f. tap water in Corona, California!

Recommended Posts

I have lived in Corona for 33 years. Last winter we had our first summer like weather since I have lived here. I noticed this summer I was adding no hot water while showering. This has never happened before!!! I checked the temp and it's 79 f. !

I will check it in 6 months after our next winter. Then again this time next year.

I will check the soil temp soon.

Who else is experiencing this?

Does it benefit our plants?

I have had a few palms with scale on the spears farmed by ants for the first time! R. glauca, B. armata and a D. onilahensis.

I took the water direct from the tap that comes out of the ground after running lots of water thru it!

Then I checked the temp. The temp went down 1 degree while taking the pic.

Can only see it as a positive, especially if it stays elevated throughout the colder weather. I'm on bore water which is a couple of degrees warmer than yours year round. My automatic irrigation system comes on between 4:00 to 6:30 am which is generally the coldest part of the morning in winter. Even if only marginally, it would raise both temp and humidity. Compensates a little for being in a colder microclimate.

Here in California people go into the ocean when it's in the low 70's. I do believe most of my plants are thriving with the record warm winter we had. Because of the record warm winter we have warmer soil and tap water this summer. Some of my plants I believe like cooler winters and are not thriving! My next door neighbors jacaranda didn't even flower this year. They need cold winters for the best flowering.

I bit off topic, my motorcycle likes the hot asphalt like no summer before! I bumped my speed up from 65 mph to 70 mph while carving thru a cloverleaf turn I know well!!!
