So much for passing up my house. It's rained a 1/2 inch so far and the snow line in the local mountains was down to 4,000 feet (1200 meters).

We've got lots of ducks around here but even more geese. I don't remember seeing so many geese around here in all of my life. Fish & Game officials actually re-opened the hunting season for another weekend a couple of weeks ago because they considered populations of some species to be higher than sustainable levels.

Its getting cold here tomorrow and monday, only the low to mid 40sF! But looks like temperatures in the mid 60sF by the end of the work week so the temperatures are definitely going up and down like a rollercoaster, but there are some nice temperatures on the top!

[harveyc]

Had my 31st morning with frost (moderate amount) this morning. My thermometer is still in my greenhouse (got down to 51F there) so I don't know how cold it was outside, but AccuWeather reported at about 7am that it was 32F. Usually it's been warmer than the lows they've reported.

Daytime weather was very spring-like with a high of 67.

It's going to get cold and wet this weekend. Hopefully that's the last of this year's winter. I think both me and my plants are eager to start off a new season.

Nice.

I'm hoping for a torrential downpour to water my vegetable garden and bananas -- so I can be lazy for a couple of weeks or more and not get out the hose!

[momoese]

Once established a good rain would be fine, but that area gets runoff from the roof with no rain gutter which not only would flood the small area but create a trough where the water hits the soil and wash away my seeds which should start sprouting any day now.

:ha: Good one. Yes, that weather station is not very reliable. When it is working fine, it matches what is happening at my house just about perfectly, but it seems to work right less often than it is off-line.

Saw a bit of sun today. Now it's cloudy again. Blowing a good 20+ mph.

What is going on?! Now we are having hail. With a partially sunny sky and 51 degrees.

[Richard]

We've had a nice steady rain all afternoon, with a total of 1.9 inches of rain so far today.

Even more interesting is that we've had 16.25 inches of rain so far for the season -- that is double the average annual rainfall.

[venturabananas]

Windy, boy am I glad I got rid of all tall varieties

No kidding. Right now, wind 25 mph with 35 mph gusts. All foliage taller than "wall height" (8') is shredded and there are some bare midribs where the blade has been stripped off. But that's the result of several windy days over the last several months.

I wish there were more dwarf varieties that didn't mind cool weather. Dwarf Namwah, Rajapuri, dwarf Brazilian (which isn't much of a dwarf), and dwarf Orinico seem to be the main ones. Dwarf Mysore and Silk would be nice!

I think I live on the west coast now....

Or at least it seems like it. Im only 2 blocks away from the ocean where I live and it seems like the hotter it gets inland (80s in areas like Chicago and DC), the colder and especially foggier it gets here (got to 61F today). Right now New Brunswick NJ is 74F and sunny and they are only about 20 miles west of me. Where I live its 52F and foggy. Pretty huge difference!

[harveyc]

We're about 25% of normal here for rain, Ante. Our first significant rain since last fall was about two weeks ago.

The so-called Miracle March of 1991 resulted in a lot of rain following a very dry winter that helped fill up our reservoirs here in California. I don't think that we're going to get enough to match that but this is very welcome although it's harmful to our fruits that are blooming now (cherries, peaches, etc.).

Strange huh? I originally thought that everything happened earlier down in SD for you, but maybe it's largely differences among cultivars. My apricots also set (just a few fruit, but I only planted them last year) before the storm. Early peach varieties (e.g., May Pride) have already all set locally. My peach and nectarine must be later (but unknown) varieties.

By the way, what constitutes "summer"? Even though Nicaragua is in the northern hemisphere they don't seem to use the same seasonal calendar as us in the U.S. They say it is now summer there as they have hot dry weather now and by May the weather is cooler with rains. Is it actually spring there based on the phase of our orbit but they have summer-like weather?

To all that are getting rain: Be kind, send some my way.

Dry last year, dry the year before, looking to be a dry year this year...
Iv had to actually water my established trees this winter.
So few cold fronts went by to drop off some rain...

Hopefully Florida, at least in my area, has a nice wet summer.. GOOD wet though!! Not bad storm, hurricane wet!!

[harveyc]

This was at least our 33rd day with frost this year (may have had frost when I was gone to Nicaragua for 5 days). Last year I think we had frost on 4/8 and the year before on 4/2 or 4/1. Our normal last frost date is something like 3/23 and I don't remember any other frosts in April for the prior 40 years.

[Dalmatiansoap]

Jugo again, not a single rain drop, again :(

[harveyc]

I think I need to move my thermometer. I have it under a large lemon tree and that probably traps heat from the ground. I maybe will build one of those fancy weather station houses. It must have been colder than 40.4F this morning to have frost. I built the copula that sits on my garage and can build something similar for my thermometer.

Showoff! :ha:

No frost here, but supposed to be low-mid 40's tonight. Pretty windy, though. Currently 20+ mph.

[harveyc]

Heavy rain. Had hail and supposedly slushy snow earlier. Weird.

[caliboy1994]

I'm in Vegas, and right now it's REALLY windy.

[saltydad]

We had frost the other night and it's forecast for tonight also. The tips of all my bananas are black. Strangely, cannas are coming up already, and for me to have a canna winter successfully is a miracle.

Had pretty heavy frost this morning, our 34th of the season. I moved one of my thermometers last night into an open area (and also noticed that it did show tenths of a degree when I put on my glasses!). At 6:30, a half hour before sunrise, that thermometer registered 37.8F while the other under my lemon tree registered 41.1F. I would guess it got a few tenths lower.

[Richard]

Here it is a beautiful spring day.

Got down to 43 here last night, but it's been warm enough during the days that everything is growing.

[harveyc]

Half hour before sunrise and it's 37.2F with fairly heavy frost, our 35th frost of the season.

Hope to get my tomato transplants in the ground today but will have them protected with a row cover.

[venturabananas]

46 degrees last night, already 74 this morning. Super dry, 15% humidity. My potted plants are requiring watering way more than I'd like, due to the low humidity and windy conditions. But everything is enjoying the sun and warmth and growing like it is, well, Spring!

No rain for several weeks. High 80's and a few low 90's so I'm hand watering twice daily. The potted stuff. The Hunter controller waters the naners and chokes -- also 2x a day -- the lawn 3x per week. Very happy I had that well dug.

[venturabananas]

Got over an inch of rain last night. Pretty late in our rainy season. Kind of surprising.

Getting a late night sprinkle here. More is forecast for Friday.

Yeah no kidding! I've had 3/4 inch since 2pm and winds sustained at 15mph for 10-15 minute intervals.

Accumulated rainfall for this season is now over double the annual average.

At 8:32pm it's still 66F and today we got up to 83F, are warmest day of the year by far so far. Hard to imagine that we had 3 consecutive days with frost 12-14 days ago. Nice weather is expected to continue. :)

[bananimal]

While it's baking in Bakersfield and frying in Fresno it's raining in south Florida. We should see 4 days of it. Somewhere in Broward county I heard they were scooping up handfuls of hail off the lawns. Amazing!

It's about time!!!

I'll bet Nick is happy.

[Nicolas Naranja]

I had over 5 inches of rain since Thursday. My gauge overflowed. It couldnt have happened at a better time. My new planting was actually getting dry. The rain should dampen down the aphid pressure on my okra.

Today was a warm day for June, even though we're still in April! It reached 93F at my place today at here at 11:50pm it's 67F, which we usually dip below except for the warmest of summer nights. Weird as we had been cooler than normal until a week or so ago.

Here in South GA the forecast is 38F tomorrow night. I was just getting ready to put in my tomato plants. I have two new banana plants but I have trash cans I am going to put over those.

Weather has been so bizarre.

Great pic Ante! Thats really beautiful.
Right now its pouring and windy. A good number of my plants are blown over. We did need the rain pretty badly, but the cold weather is not something we really needed. Right now its only 50F and we got over 2 inches of rain (and the worst of the storm wont be for a few more hours). Should end up with about 4 inches by tomorrow.

Woohoo, looks like you'll be able to hold off on watering.

We turned much cooler last night, returning to more typical weather for April. Our high temp is forecast to be 20F lower or so down to 72F. We might get showers on Wednesday, not the heavy rain you're expected to get.

Aside from the occasional 40 mph gust of wind which shredded more leaves, we had great weather for bananas yesterday. Felt tropical by our standards: high of 83, low of 56, humid, and a bit of rain. Felt more like August than April.

[Richard]

I had a 1/3 of an inch of rain overnight. Came down steady over a long period so it soaked in well. I'm sure my plants in the ground are very happy with it, although probably very little found its way into my 1100 leafed-out plants in 5 gallon pots. I'll be attending to them today and tomorrow.
