Happ,

About every other year a big high pressure will settle over Calif. and we can get 2 or 3 weeks of warm weather in Feb or March. It happened up here last year.  We went directly from cold to warm for about 2 weeks. Do you see anything like that happening this year, or is it to far out or hard to predict?

Bill, I meant 5C.  The low in Burbank was 2C (36F), and I assume that's probably a decent guess for the lowlands below me...

Crisp nights and sunny warmish days here the last 3 days, and today even warmer, near 65F. Yesterday the sun was warm enough to heat my rain buckets to a tepid temp. I watered all the plants under the overhang with warm rain water. The rain and a few days of sun have greened all the hills in N. Calif. and the Poppies will be blooming soon. The wild flowers in the West should make a spectacular show this year.

happ its very hard to find good informations with details of weather in mexico. we are developing country not like united states we have many less stations for weather and records is hard to find. mexico's smn has not many details on internet like nws in united states.  i do search for details of weather for december january in this winter for ciudad obregón and hermosillo sonora, guamuchil sinaloa and find nothing i can put here.

these are the princiapals cities in these areas of cultivation of tomatos but there not very big. most the cultivations away from coast in valleys by the mountains for theres water there. on the coast theres little water.

Bill,

I think the sensor is in the coldest part of my property.  I have another unofficial sensor down the hill, and the low temperatures down there are usually warmer than up top.  I think the canopy down there is thick enough to make a difference...

I feel bad too, since f-ing Happ is usually warmer than me :laugh:

It appears the "sometimes" high pressure we get over Calif. in Feb or March is asserting its self. This past week in N. Calif. has been mild with mid 60's to low 70's and night lows around 40F. It looks like more of the same for the coming week. My low this morning is 42F, and near 70F today for a high. Perfect weather to work in the garden, but I'm not fooling myself, as we will probably have some more cold weather before Spring gets here.

This weekend was awesome.... 70s to 80 all three days... got out and cleaned up, weeded, planted some bamboo clumps so that the neighbor's new balcony will be covered up in <2 years...
