Hopefully forecast is very optimistic.

Re: Weather forecast
 

The trees will love all that water

Re: Weather forecast
 

It rained everyday for more than a week so I think trees have fed up of water as like we have :bananas_b

Re: Weather forecast
 

Does not look like an umbrella would do any good in that storm.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Send some of that raIN here! We are over 100f (38c) & very humid.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Had some lovely rain today, Olives will enjoy it!
:woohoonaner:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Re: Weather forecast
 

Constant rains for a few days now, even we hit alltime July rainfall record, our Olives are enjoying it, my bananas are enjoying, but, am I missing something????

Re: Weather forecast
 

Strong winds, there will be many broken leaves again.

Re: Weather forecast
 

We expect hit of the storms which ravaged West Europe, Now the from is above central PL - one person died hit by tree.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Another heat wave with day temps. 35-38C and even nights will stay arround 30C

Re: Weather forecast
 

dalmation..whew..that is HOT !!!!
were going into this next week of upper 90F near 100F
which is very unusual for us.. high 80sF yes..
nites are still pretty comfortable though.. very odd year

i would think cymbidiums would love this kind of weather..
dont they like a day/nite drop of temp of 20+F to do really well..
anyways.. im sure i'll be complaining when its january and dreaming
of spring/summer again.. LOL

Re: Weather forecast
 

Well - as you have some other non-europeans posting I thought I would butt in! We are currently under hurricane watch for tomorrow and have cut all the fruit off the bananas - most of the bunches were huge and the ones that lay on the roof definitly had to go! So down came the Manzanos and Blue Java bunches, and the gardeners (if they come) will take down the trunks tomorrow.

Hey - we might even get a hurricane party out of Irene!

Re: Weather forecast
 

Thats a bad news, new hurricane storm? Take care down there.
BTW, non-europeans? Reffering to yourself? Am I missing something?:ha::ha::ha:
Take care,
take some pics if U can

Re: Weather forecast
 

island cassie..
hope this storm doesnt materialize into anything to devastating for
you all..
stay safe!!!

Re: Weather forecast
 

Cassie, we will also be watching the storm. Your are in more of it's path but will at least get heavy rains. We are planning a "rain" party as they aren't as wild. Good luck and take care.

Re: Weather forecast
 

As a cat1 hurricane she is due to pass us 30 miles away to the north at 5am early tomorrow morning, so no party at that hour!!! Stores are closing early and the schools have closed too. We have had some rain bands through but it is really still - the quiet before the storm? But the nice cool wind is good. Nothing to get stressed about and we are all battened down - the towel brigade are on standby!!

Another burst of pounding rain from the north as I post - dogs scampering to get under cover!

Ante - I meant the north americans posting in the european section - thought I'd join in as we are part of South America.

Re: Weather forecast
 

We enjoyed the eye of one storm and it was the most beautiful day we had ever seen. It was unreal how clear and blue the sky was. Wasn't long though as it passed and then continued to kick some butt. Sank our 25' Bertrum and blow our almost finished house off of the stilts. Hey that was just a small one, have seen many bigger but I bet you have also.
Take care.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Sorry to hear about your losses Noah - I hope the insurance companies came through! We are usually lucky here as we have big mountains at our back (the highest in the Caribbean) to deflect storms. I hope I am right this time too.:ha:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Will offer a few prayers for you and yours. If the storm kcks a bit north it won't be any problem for us.
Take care.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Thanks Noah - we are not too worried - we have made our preparations and will take what comes - Cat 2 now!! But I fear for the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas - they are only a few feet above the water level and the storm surge is predicted at up to 10ft!! Our friends on Eleuthera have had the sea surging through their house many times, and this looks like another time.

Re: Weather forecast
 

At least we can evacuate if necessary. Haven't had to yet but we know what the storms can do don't we. Take care.

Re: Weather forecast
 

We need some rain here, in a fact a lot of rain.
As sooner as better.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Raining since 7AM, now we have a deal!
:woohoonaner:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Ante, The rains have put down about an inch of rain for us and we needed it. Not as bad as some. It sure smelled nice. The newly seeded areas of our pasture liked it also. Good luck

Re: Weather forecast
 

Now, whan it finaly rained I can plant! Soon as the dirt allow and soil dry a bit I have several Palms and some other stuff to plant. Didnt do that before becouse I would need to water them on daily bases and that just wasnt possible at the moment

Re: Weather forecast
 

Good luck with your plants, hope the rains supply them on a regular basis.

Re: Weather forecast
 

WIND!!!
I ll quit with bananas, cant take this again :((((

Re: Weather forecast
 

What happened ? Hope it wasn't too bad. It rained again last night and put down over an inch. Nice storms with slow rain and low winds. Good luck.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Well, after cleaning and pruning all dead leaves I lost to about 25% of foliage, what isnt so bad after all. I dont mind shredded look but I get this every now and then. Well I guess thats the one of reasons why we dont have so many bananas arround here:ha:

Re: Weather forecast
 

We have great weather this year, actually it is more like summer than autumn - the only negative detail is fact that it's extremely dry.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Re: Weather forecast
 

Yes, it does look nice there. I am amazed at the many places in this world that people grow tropicals. Rain also is an issue with us on occasion as the grass doesnot grow and the cattle have to eat hay. Will you take the banana in when it gets cold? Even here in zone 9b it drops the temps down enough to harm some of the plants.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Yes I will.
I had tried to overwinter them in the garden but almost nothing survived the winter, so I dig them up and keeping in pots. I plant them out in the middle of May.

Sherry, thanks you reminded me I hadn't any vacation this summer. ;)

Re: Weather forecast
 

We might get some cool down weather this weekend with some rain and hard wind (who could guess that:ha:) that will be official end of the Summer here.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Re: Weather forecast
 

First signs of changes:



:nanadrink:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Same here

:ha:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Well in bright sunny Florida the temps have also started to drop. Had to wear long pants, long sleve shirt and insulated vest this morning. I do not like cold weather, and it was only 56 F, but I still was cold.
Thankfully the plants are more hardy than I and it should be some time before they will need protection. Stay warm.
