really mild winter so far

[edbrown_III]

I am almost afraid to mention  it .    No freezes of consequence to report .    Thank the Lord for blessings such as this . 

 

I dont think the yard has seen below 30 °F  here in Jax .

Same here in my corner of the Bay Area... I feel so fortunate, since the last 2 winters were tough on my young palms that have been trying to establish. This Summer should bring some epic growth.

Honestly same here, we’ve gotten some lows but nothing out of the ordinary for my area, palms and plants are sailing through

This has so far been the mildest winter in Florida in my memory. It's quite something. We always have a light overnight freeze by this time of year at least once or twice. Nope nothing so far.

Winters here in Mallorca are always quite mild, we really only get about 6 weeks of cold unsettled weather.

But our problem this winter is that it is too mild and a serious lack of rain. The mountain reservoirs are only at 35% capacity with the state weather forecast predicting no rain for at least 10 days.

Here in North Rancho the lows have been very mild. A couple nights around 34-35 but nothing cooler. The day highs have been cooler than average though so it’s a trade off. I’m assuming the night time lows not dipping to freezing are more important for young palms than day time highs in the winter months overall so it’s a small win.

Hope you guys share some of that warmth next year, Texas has been having an abysmal run...below average to apocalyptic below average lows for the past 4 winters in a row. We'd like a warm run too or even just average 😭

I wonder whether California's current rainy weather will persist through February and March, consistent with the ongoing El Nino.

To some extent?  probably... Though,  when looking over all the long range forecasts out atm,  the current 8-17 or 18 day time frame looks like the best " push " of El Nino - nudged weather..   That said, ENSO is only one of many things that are currently influencing the weather.  Honestly, it should be a lot wetter across the west ...if this were a " classic " ..'82-3 / '97-8  El Nino cycle.

Everyone should enjoy what they may get over the next couple months because there are already hints of things leaning drier come next winter, esp for here, and around S. Cal.   Too far out to put much faith in a " far off in the future " forecast suggestion of course, but worth watching to see if ..or how..  such a potential outcome may evolve,  later on.



Regardless, all downhill for El Nino as i type,  with the " La Nina " cold pool building,  and poised to spread east and build across the Pacific,  which means whatever level of input / influence El Nino might be having,  as it relates to the weather going forward,  will only wane.   Possibly quite rapidly once past April.

Same here in St. Augustine and Hastings.  In Hastings the papayas and bananas are still green.  Very unusual in Hastings.  In St. Augustine, that is not that unusual.

Brooksville AP has had two lows barely touch freezing when that area is a cold 9b typically or even 9a.  Outside of one night at 33 my area can't seem to drop much below 40. We should have multiple nights in the mid thirties or lower by now.  I like that but not the cloudy dreary days that are starting to go away. Miami hasn't been below 52 yet. Summer is coming though...

Winter has been hotter in Chiapas than it should be... We're at 34-36ºC, should have been 32ºC. Locals don't remember a winter as hot as the current one.
