Come west a bit, Gary, for the RAIN! Temps hovering around 60, and waves of rain last night through the weekend. We are on the eastern edge of what is drowning parts of Ark and E TX.

It is in the lower 60s here and your post is from weeks ago!

Enjoy it!

2 or 3 nites ago got down to 23 or 24 degrees. Don't know how the already opened blossoms will handle it! Maybe another no fruit year.

Its 78 degrees now. It probably got up to at least 80 today. That is normal temperature here. Nights are still cool around 68 degrees.

I don't mind 80, I do mind that the trades are off and the Kona winds make it feel hotter than it is. And then there's the haze from vog.

I can't believe it is time to plant the summer crops already.

We had another big wind storm a few weeks ago. It came from the West, across the Pacific Ocean. Power outages, downed trees. The big storms always come from the West. I am pretty sure that imafan26 is sending them over from Hawaii. If only imafan26 could throw a few pineapples and coconuts and macadamia nuts and Kona coffee, and then funnel storm my special order across the Pacific so that it drops right in my front yard.

Those storms passed to the north of me. At least most of them we got a few thunderstorms and heavy rain for a few hours, but no wind to speak of. All we really got was the southern rain bands and the largest part of the storm just brought big surf.

I have seen a few ripe coconuts, but sorry no mac nuts or coffee in my house.

Yep, I think we were at 85 here today. A bit out of the ordinary. Convinced me to plant my cucs and squash.

We were up to the 90's today. Unfortunately the night temps are in the low to mid 40's, so I can't put any tomatoes, peppers or cukes in the ground yet. Things are expected to cool off again this week plus some more rain. I'm hoping the weather levels off in a few more weeks.
