Current weather

[venturabananas]

Thanks for that blast from the past, Tony. Put a smirk on my face.

No heat here today either. "June gloom" all day. We did have some nice sun and warmth this weekend, though it was still too cold for Nick, a high of only 76. :ha:

[Richard]

It's been sprinkling very lightly here since 2:30pm.

[caliboy1994]

Here comes the June gloom...

South Florida today ----- low 80's, breezy. Sunny after 4 days of rain on and off. Bananas, tomatos, chokes are bustin'.

I can't believe the weather you guys have right now in So Cali.

[harveyc]

68F and light rain...kind of cool

[Dean W.]

My thermometer reads 94F.

[caliboy1994]

I went to Florida two years ago and it was 90 degrees and raining. It didn't make sense to me how it could be so hot outside and be pouring rain at the same time. Anyways, the gloom is clearing away, and warmer weather is on the horizon! :woohoonaner:

[justjoan]

Warm and stormy in Minnesota:waving:

[Nicolas Naranja]

Spammers should be shot

[Nicolas Naranja]

Welcome Summer. It was hot, muggy and rainy today.

[harveyc]

Felt like it got about 90 here today. Big difference from last year. Last year we didn't hit 90 until June 30th and pomegranates didn't start flowering until late June. I've had flowers on them for several weeks already.

[caliboy1994]

We're going to hit 90 tomorrow.

[sunfish]

75f here.Just right

[caliboy1994]

I love how California has so many different microclimates :D

I can just hope there will be no rain this week, we need dry weather due Olives pollination

[caliboy1994]

It got really hot today, up in the 90s. I sprayed down my plants with hose water.

[caliboy1994]

I can hear the wind roaring outside! So much for that nice new leaf on my Ice Cream....it'll probably be all shredded by morning :(

[sunfish]

Overcast,chance of rain Friday

[momoese]

Good luck with the finals Calliboy......:woohoonaner:

Its the fourth day of sun today.

26C.........I need some........:nanadrink::nanadrink::nanadrink:

[harveyc]

Chance of rain but dry so far. Rain right now would cost me lots of $$$ in lost revenue as I have 135 acres of hay on the ground ready to be baled. East of me in the Sierra Nevada snow chains are required at an elevation of 5,500' with 6" of snow on the ground.

[Dean W.]

Hot and sunny! Good weather for staying inside and surfing the web.:ha:

Holiday weekend temp index expected to be in the triple digits.

[Richard]

Overcast, about 70F.

[Nicolas Naranja]

Temperature at work in Belle Glade 86
Temperature at my house near the lake 83
Dewpoint at both places 73


Muggy is the appropriate word and it is not supposed to rain today.

[oakshadows]

95 for high tomorrow and to me that is getting quite warm.

[Abnshrek]

80F w/ a couple sprinkles.. I wish it would just fall out already.. We need it..

[sunfish]

:woohoonaner:

Overcast light drizzle

[RandyGHO]

Just had a bad cloud pass over. Pea size hail. Hard rain. A tree down across the road a couple of hundred yards away. Yard covered with broken pine tree branches. I can hear chain saws running in background now.

All three banana plants had no damage from the hail or high winds.

[Dalmatiansoap]

Jugo :(

[jwmahloch]

90F and partly sunny in St Louis MO now. Good banana growing weather!!!!!!!

[saltydad]

70's and partly sunny, T/S later forecast. Turned off the ac and the house smells delightful!

[harveyc]

Had moderate rain late morning and it's been cloudy and cool since then. Pretty cool for June with a high in mid-60s.

[bananimal]

Hot as h__l here! Working on the yard in the PM will get you in shape though. After a good sweat you can't beat a jump in the pool.

And a cold beer.

Work some more.

Another dip.

And another beer.:08:

Repeat this till you have had enough!:nanadrink:

Have dinner and fall asleep on the floor.

Repeat next day.

Another day in paradise.

[oakshadows]

80F w/ a couple sprinkles.. I wish it would just fall out already.. We need it..

How are you doing with the rain? We have gotten over 14 inches in the last two weeks but it was easy rain over long periods. The news media had some terrible looking scenes of the flooding and damage. Be careful.
How are things going around Pensacola? A lot of rain there also and most of the areas aroun there.

[barnetmill]

I am from northwest florida and we have gotten record rains. I am currently out town and will return tomorrow to what my place looks like. I am most worried about erosion of my driveway and since I live on a hillside flooding should not be a big problem.

[oakshadows]

Things seem to happen when you are away from the abode, that's why I stay put. All of the plants keep us happy and busy also. Good luck.

[sunfish]

97.5F right now at 5pm and 112F in my greenhouse. Pretty warm!

97.5F right now at 5pm and 112F in my greenhouse. Pretty warm!

Wow, I'm staying out of your greenhouse!

[bananimal]

Wow Harvey ---- I have 4 to 5 degree swings from the forcasted temps on the coast but those numbers are amazing! My wife just said you must be in the desert areas. That's after rolling the eyes after hearing another plant story.
I love it!!

[Abnshrek]

Wow, its not Hot 68F, and its raining... {saying Woo Hoo :^)

[kaczercat]

Today rain & hail and it cooled off this afternoon at 73. now sunny again, Great June so far! been in the mid 80's last few days and sunny! Rained every night at 9:30pm from Fri- Sun. outlook for the next 14 days sunny low 80's.

Rain all last night, day OK, but raining again now. But its the light steady "gardeners' rain.

[Dalmatiansoap]

Freaky hot

[kaczercat]

nice and warm here mid 80's no rain and lots of sun! today and tomorrow possible rain but not not much.

[saltydad]

Weill, just finished the heat of 100+, along with a monster t-storm Friday night, and we've been without power until this morning. Thanks to one of my brothers for putting us up. Trees down all over, but my plants all made it. Spent the day throwing out our refrigerator of food. Fun :-(

[Abnshrek]

74F and very nice after getting 2 1/4 inches of rain yesterday. :^)

[Dalmatiansoap]

To hot here, sunburn marks on many plants, still no rain or any cooldown on a sight.

[caliboy1994]

It's been hot lately in So Cal. It was almost 100 degrees today! I can already tell that the August heat that my area is famous for is on its way. The bananas have been taking it like nothing though and are growing great.

[palmtree]

Was in the 100's here a few days ago, past 3 days have only been in the 70s! It feels like spring (or maybe Fall!). Some of the plants are really loving the break from the heat, the bananas still seem to be growing at a normal speed so they dont seem to mind much yet, but hopefully the heat comes back soon.
Seems like whenever Cali is hot, NYC is cold and vice versa!

[Dalmatiansoap]

windy, but I still can take it :ha:

[Abnshrek]

77 and sprinkling.. guess I can't complain.. lol :^)

[drew leonard]

92 presently, with a heat index of 99.

[nannerfunboi]

weve had a warm/hot summer so far.. nothing like those
suffering in the midwest..whew..:(
we have had alot of 100F days.. thus far..
"they" say were to have mid/high 90F days for a week or so..
oh well... nites are nice though.. mid/low 70Fs..
my tropicals seem to like it..even though start of summers
HOT temps ..i dont think the plants liked that.. they didnt get a chance
to aclimatize.. went from spring to HOT summer..

[laserlight]

Its 71 degrees here but tomorrow it will be 98. =( thats too hot!
Ich wünschte, es würde mehr Schnee fallen. Ich liebe Schnee.

Its 77 degrees here.

[caliboy1994]

I think I'm living in hell...High of 111 degrees today...I can't wait to move up to Silicon Valley where it rarely gets above 90.

Just checked the weather in Santa Clara, where I'll be moving to in a month for college. Absolutely PERFECT weather for bananas! :)

[Abnshrek]

Its raining.. so no watering for me today.. lol (My water bill has gone down since I started watering my nanners heavily) I'll be feeding them later.. :^)

[drew leonard]

heavy thunderstorms forecast for the Charlotte area around lunch today. Much less humid tomorrow with a 90 high!

[Abnshrek]

Man its really Hot (100F in the shade).. and my nanners are liking it, especially the one's getting misted.... :^)

[harveyc]

69F at sunrise but will heat up to over 100F again today for the seventh consecutive day. The past three summers have been relatively cool but this is a warm one.

[Dalmatiansoap]

....still...H O T....

[barnetmill]

For us it now a tropical storm heading for the gulf of Mexico and at the moment pointing towards NW Florida and nearby Alabama. It still may go elsewhere and we will have to wait to see after it gets past cuba for more precise determinations. For me highwinds could damage my fruit trees and I will have to prune them to keep them from blowing down.

[island cassie]

Well - good luck and stay safe. It has just been passing us last night and today about 150 miles away, and although it is BIG, it is kinda wimpy and never made the projected hurricane .- we didn't even need to bring in the patio furniture. Having said that - the wind is getting up a bit now that we are in the NE quadrant and we will probably get a bit more rain. The kids are out surfing!

[island cassie]

They have just updated the forcasts for TS Isaac, and storm watches are in place for Jamaica and Cuba as they now expect the track to go more west than northwest, so possibly the New Orleans area again!

[PR-Giants]

It might be a wimpy storm, but I have several hundred maybe even thousands of platanos on the ground. A lot of rain and a little wind is not a great combo. This is a good time to think of some new experiments, I have an ample supply of large p-stems and standing them back up is not an option.

[Abnshrek]

Its raining here.. alright.. :^)

[island cassie]

Sorry to hear about your losses Keith - sometimes the lie of the land channels the wind where you don't want it, and compared to a hurricane, this was not bad. We have had a very windy afternoon but my Sabas are still upright with huge bunches on them - whether they will last the night, I don't know. We have the mountains at our back which helps. Which side of PR are you - N,S,E or W? We are on the north coast of the DR.

Thanks Cassie,
I'm on the top of a mountain on the SE coast with a beautful ocean view, so I accept the bad with the good. I go into hurricane season expecting a 100 % loss, so anything less than a complete loss is a windfall.
Another good thing about ARH is you can haverst at the 40 day mark if needed, 20-24 oz fruit are still respectable.
The mountains to your south are also very beautiful and a good place to find amber. I think you are in Sosua.

[island cassie]

We are down the coast to the east from Sosua and yes - we can pick up amber from the beach which is down the road! And our Sabas are good to use if the wind blows them down - I had been thinking of cutting them down anyway. Keep in touch neighbour!:waving:

[PR-Giants]

I never considered finding amber at the beach, the rivers can bring it from the mountains to the ocean. Amber being fairly light should easily wash up on the shore. How is the quality of the amber affected by the ocean or the sand ?

[island cassie]

Amber floats but our beach is some way from a river mouth, so we only get small pieces. I don't know if the quality is affected by being in the sea as I really don't care for it enough to have found out. I know that a lot is mined here but isn't most of the Baltic amber found washed up on the beach?

[Nicolas Naranja]

8.5" of rain...WOW everything is flooded except for my bananas.

[trebor]

I dont know how much rain we had .. Just know it was a lot and plenty of wind . Not so bad got plenty of torn leaves . Before this storm was on its way I had tied my tall plants to the fence and house . So they did pretty good I guess.. Still we get rain every hour or so. By tomorrow it will stop.

[Nicolas Naranja]

I spoke too soon, there are a few that are under water at the house, but the main farm is not flooded.

http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x455/NicolasNaranja/2012-08-27103216.jpg

[oakshadows]

Will the plants that are under water survive when it drys ? A lot of rain here also and it will probably continue for a few more days but the winds will slow some. Good luck and keep those hands dirty.

[Nicolas Naranja]

I think they will be OK as long as the water doesn't stay there too long.

[bananimal]

We were under tornado warning most of the day earlier. Tornados damaged 30 homes in Vero and ripped the roof off one in Palm City. Too close to home. The outer band ribbon ran in line with the same cities from Miami up to Sebastian for like 7 hours of non stop rain and lightning. Lightning strikes in the hundreds. Many areas have severe flooding in homes and businesses for the first time ever. Amazing that the power or TV cable never cut out thrououghout it all. One of my favorite news pics was of a neighborhood in the Acerage where the kids and adults are playing in the flood water running and floating in inner tubes ---- in an area with only septic tanks. Flooded out septic tanks!!! Palooshun playground!!!

The smaller one of the Ae Ae cracked all of its leaves at the pstem but is still upright. Might grow back ok. Everything else was undamaged. BTW – found a new flower on the D Brazilian when tieing them up. That’s a total of 4 bunches hanging now. Finally stopped raining this evening!

[Nicolas Naranja]

I think I may get done in today, it is pouring rain and I can see the water above where it was yesterday morning.

[island cassie]

Stay safe everyone and I hope your properties are ok. As for bananas - they can stand a lot of water and when we had 11 inches of rain in 24 hours - there was standing water for quite a while and they were fine. I think that if the temperature is warm, they can cope. We even have an Orito growing where the swimming pool filter pumps out so that is always damp to say the least. Good luck all!!

[barnetmill]

Hurricane Issac is gone and so far I have not seen a lot of damage. My part of NW FL did some rain, but not a lot of rain. My one little banana plant is still standing and after advice from darkman this coming november I will prepare for the onset of winter with the hope of getting bananas next yr.

[Abnshrek]

Its raining like all get out.. I know the plants are Lovin' this.. :^)

[Abnshrek]

Its raining some more.. I think I need more rain barrels. :^)

[harveyc]

Turned from hot summer weather (upper 90s) yesterday to fall weather (79F forecast high) for today. Feels nice! Much more pleasant to be harvesting chestnuts in the cooler weather!

[bananimal]

Same here in So Fla zone 9b. Mid 90's to mid/upper 80's. I can work outside for hours after all the sweating a month ago. Dropped 5 lbs in the last 30 days. Can drink more beer now. lolol :ha::nanadrink:

[venturabananas]

Most of mine look more like the mat on the left than the one on right -- a bit yellowed. But they are still putting out new blooms. I hope winter is mild, too, so all the bunches hanging make it through in good shape.

Day 3 or 4 in a row with light rain.

[harveyc]

Had one day of frost back around 11/9, I believe but no signs of damage from that. A lot more rain this year than last and we're in the middle of a big storm now. Winds have slowed down but rain is coming down hard and yard is flooded. The bananas wish they got this kind of treatment in the summer.

[Dalmatiansoap]

It was good while it last. Cold front comes as of tomorrow here. Anyway it was nice to see bananas growing in November :)

[Nicolas Naranja]

The low last night was 71, and it rained. The only way I convince myself that it is not the rainy season is the fact that it is dark when I get home. As far as I am concerned, the weather is perfect.

[Abnshrek]

Its 64F & raining.. great weather. :^)

[robguz24]

73F and rainy. Got down to 67 last night. About as cold as it gets for the most part. Record cold is around 60 for any given day. 70 and below is sweatshirt weather here!

[island cassie]

Midnight and the weather has warmed up to 78f/25c after weeks of cold rain - about 20 inches this month so far!! But it keeps the island green and we don't have to bother with rain catchment from roofs like the dry islands do. The night-time temps got down to 68f at the lows and the Dominicans had warm hats and padded jackets on - the Europeans just turned the fans off!!! lol!

Had a nice pleasant day in the 60s today but cold tonight. 35F as of 10pm, forecast to get down to 31F. Fourth frost this season. I've left some fruit bunches hanging and may harvest one or two tomorrow since they probably wont size up any more at this point.

high winds to come

[bananimal]

High of 60F and low of 40 forcast for Fri and Sat.. Our coldest S Fla weather so far this winter. I'm wearing sweats and a hat already to walk the dog. Will have to protect the basil, artichokes and parsley. Need to take a closer look at the 3 bunches hanging to see how filled in they are.

Yes, I'm pretty much exactly on the other side of the state on the S.W. Coast. This is an early cold front... might have wind chills in the 20s here with ambient temps in the 30s. Hope there is a lot of wind to keep the frost away. Only one night of actual cold weather though.

[Nicolas Naranja]

NWS says it will be 41 here on Friday night and 44 on Saturday night. It will probably be a little warmer than that. NWS underestimates the warming influence of Lake Okeechobee. But really anything below 50 makes for unhappy plants.

[JodoGarden]

I keep checking the forecast and it seems to be changing... how typical :ha: I am doubting that we'll go into the 30s here, 40s are bad enough... not ready to protect plants yet :coldbanana:

[bananimal]

Checked my outside thermometer at 0630 and our low was 44F. It's 55 now.

Brought some recently potted seedlings in last night. Nothing that has been potted for a while so I don't find a kitchen full of ants again. A mistake not to be repeated. lol

Everthing outside still looks good. Very thin coating of frost on the roof of the cars.

[Nicolas Naranja]

48 was the low this morning, but it has since only warmed up to 53 and the wind is howling.

[JodoGarden]

Official low here was 40.5 at sunrise this morning. I moved all the sensitive plants into the shed and covered my germination chamber with a blanket yesterday. Everything seems to be unharmed... didn't see any signs of a frost.

[caliboy1994]

Winter has finally arrived. And with a vengeance. Plenty of rain and cold temps. The bananas are surviving, but don't seem to be enjoying it. Tiny brown dots are appearing on the p-stems and petioles of the plants. I'm guessing this is a result of the cold. Absolutely no growth on Ice Cream (Tall Namwah) and Mysore, and the flower bud on Raja Puri has slowed to a crawl in its emergence. It's raining right now, and due to dip down to 36 at night in a few days.

I remember snow. Had some in NC. Had lots in NJ.

Mississippi and Alabama, including Mobile got clobbered pretty badly yesterday from tornadoes. In nearby NWFL just mainly rain and to the best of my knowledge only high winds and rain. There is supposed to be a frost tonight last I heard.

[wolfyhound]

77 F here right now. I'd love to share a picture, but the site won't let me upload anything for some reason. (I also can't seem to upload to my twitter!)

Clear sunny day so my new bananas should be way happy!

[venturabananas]

How about your backyard Tony? I bet no one is growing bananas or passionfruit in Hemet!

My low was 38 last night, 36 two nights ago was the lowest of the year for me. The wimpy varieties (Cavendish and AA clones) have very yellow leaves, but they're not dead. Dwarf Namwah looks almost the same as in the middle of summer, just more wind shredded. The mat has two 16-hand bunches hanging right now.

[momoese]

My lowest temp so far this year was 34 last night. The plants are holding up well so far with just a little yellowing on older leaves. I have a bunch of DB that are turning yellow but it's difficult to harvest with a broken hand that's not in a cast or splint because I can't work with a cast. I'll have my wife help me this weekend. Tonight is supposed to warm up a little.

On a side note, The Urban Homestead in Pasadena lost their whole crop last night. Everything froze. Good thing I have this micro climate here in West LA.

No problem for any of my Passiflora. Outdoor bananas are yellow but no frost damage. Unheated greenhouse bananas are growing

[Nicolas Naranja]

The price on a box of lettuce went from $12 to $40. The lettuce growers down here are going to be making $40,000/acre. That will make a difference in the local economy.

Thanks. Yes it is snow and it stays there few weeks a year. What U see on the pic is above 1200m (4000 ft).

[wolfyhound]

80 F here today. Dry. We've had some brush fires already. It MAY rain today/tomorrow though.

My bananas seem to have made it through the one cold night(35F), and I see some new leaves pushing up through the center on a couple.

In area growing farms, they're harvesting cabbages by the truckload, and I saw a load of potatoes as well. Planting most of the fields but I haven't been able to tell what they're planting yet, but I'm certain some are more cabbages. They finally plowed under the old corn fields that were left too.

[AlekLO]

In Loznica +6 degress celsius.....

[GreenFin]

Three days ago we set an all-time (~150 years) high of 77F, which was a full 10 degrees warmer than the previous record high. The next night it snowed, and the low was all the way down to just 1F last night.

I have an unheated semi-pit greenhouse that I just built this fall. The lettuce/spinach/beets were fine, but the week-old tomato plants were wiped out. I planted a 4' Dwarf Orinoco in there last month to see how it would do, and its leaves fried when the outdoor night temps dropped into the teens. I cut the top off about a week ago and the p-stem was fine about 5" down from the top (I unfortunately screwed up and lopped off an additional 8" that I didn't need to). It had pushed a new leaf up a couple of inches going into last night, but rather than getting fully fried, it looks like only the top 1" of it has cold damage.

It has been rainy and wet in Florida, except at my house. It has rained at the farm, it has rained plenty at work, it poured 2" about 2 miles east of my house. I was watching the radar and it was raining in the lake and on the east side of town, but not at my house. Like seriously a 1/4 mile wide band in Pahokee right along the shore didn't get rain. It drives me crazy.

So Rob... how's yer bananas doin'? :waving:

July 30, 2013 – HAWAII - A flood advisory remains in effect for Hawaii Island at least through 6:15 p.m. as the brunt of Tropical Storm Flossie moved past Hilo and East Hawaii and began pestering Kailua-Kona and West Hawaii with heavy rains and high winds. The lower Puna and Kau areas appeared to be the most badly hit portions of East Hawaii. The Hawaii Police Department reported fallen trees on Highway 132, the Pahoa-Kapoho Highway in the area of Lava Tree State Park. The highway was closed around noon but reopened about 2:30, Hawaii County Civil Defense officials said. More than 6,000 customers of the Hawaii Electrical Light Co., mostly from Volcano to Pahoa, lost power after high winds knocked down power lines in various areas of Puna, said Kristin Okinaka, HELCO deputy corporate communications officer. At the peak there were about 6,300 homes and businesses without power, according to Hawaii Electric Light Co. That included 2,800 customers from Volcano to Glenwood, 2,200 customers from Kalapana to Nanawale and 1,300 in Panaewa. Power was restored to some areas, and by mid-afternoon there were 5,000 customers without power, HELCO reported. Power has since been restored to about 500 customers, but HELCO crews are still working on the rest of the outages, Okinaka said about 3:45 p.m. Portions of Kona and Kohala began feeling the brunt of the storm about mid-afternoon. –Star Advertiser

[robguz24]

All good here. We got wind and the power was out for 6 hours. But didn't get the 6-12" of rain. We got .39 inches that night, so still at 25% of normal rainfall this summer. Maui got the worst of it, mostly a 1-2" downpour and heavy thunder and lightning, which I got to experience after flying there in the storm. I had a Williams fall over and a Sucrier lean the other way. I had removed most of the Williams pups, so it became unstable. It opened up light to a large area and now my SH 3640 can take off.

Here in Vista and most of San Diego CA, the mid-day temperature was 90F (32C) with a wind blowing westerly off the desert out to sea. Tomorrow will be similar, and the rest of the week will be back to fall weather (70F). Of course there was a fire - typical for this season, that burned about 300 acres (121 hectacres).
