Palm Fronds Breaking

Hi All,

I inherited this palm with the property and it was doing very well with many fronds. Around six weeks ago the fronds all broke one by one, apart from two or three at the very top.

For a few weeks little activity, then today another one has broken. I tried giving it lots of water/no water, nothing seems to help.

I have seen many posts here about broken fronds, however I can’t seem to find a common theme amongst them. It’s hot here in the day (30-35C), and cool at night (down to around 14C), with wind gusts up to around 20mph.

Any advice welcomed.

Is there any way I can confirm this?

The fronds too thin, like not opening correctly, breaking easily, looks like there's some discoloration too.
