I topped put at 111 when weather pundits said 102 max. Tomorrow xoculd be 115 to 118, and Wednesday could be new record breaking 120

Accurite sensor ricked in to 115.5f today. While accuweather said 102 will be hottest. 1 hour ago my car temp sensor reads 100.

And yet these ppl are suffering...

I doubt it will be anything close to July 6. We are forecast at 105 on Wednesday yet it has been the hottest July of all times. The valley and riverside are hotter than north Orange County but we have the coastal influence which keeps our humidity in the 40’s.

Frank, there are pockets that get much hotter like Corona. it holds heat and cold much more than open areas. I hit 111 today, I am sure it could be repeat of July 6th in my area. I checked 3 other weather stations in my area and they were all within 1 degree +/- of my sensors.

Luckily, im back to water my plants unlike july 6 i was out of the country when my sensor ticked 122f - avocados burnt & lychee maybe dead.

I prepped my plants earlier with foliar seaweed & humic acid. So far so good on new growths after hitting 115.5f earlier.

I can imagine hitting 125f on wednesday.

125? Where are you? In Inyo County near Death Valley? Reports are that their high will be 126 with a LOW of 104. Wow.

San fernando Valley. Yesterday, reports max will be 101, when in fact it ticked 115 on my sensors & 111 on my car sensor.

Yes, death valley temps are extreme as heat stays longer there. Will see till today & tomorrow on what my actual temps will be.

The temps and humidity today near coastal SoCal is almost the same as Florida coast.

Accuweather showing 111f & my sensor is showing 114f at this moment.

I moved my potted mangos under my patio today and will keep them there till Thursday. Don't want to risk all that new growth. My Valencia pride after dropping it's fruit from last heat wave started pushing a lot of new growth. It's in the ground and covered by 30% shade cloth. It seems to have held up for today... But last time the damge started showing overa couple of days. I hope I can retaining the new growth... Because this canopy really needs to fill out

Survived 111 yesterday and 110 today. fingers crossed for tomorrow. I have been watering twice a day now to ensure there is plenty of moisture for uptake.

I'm doing the same watering at the peak heat @ 3PM, seems to be really helping.

if water hits leaves, those leaves will get fried due to sun beaming onto the leaf via drop of water that acts like a lens. I wait until I get some shade around 5-6 PM.

Hi temps should make those grapefruits sweeter, I would think!

sapote · « **Reply #91 on:** July 25, 2018, 06:07:06 PM »

July 6th was brutal but so far this week my mangoes love it, and the big difference between damage and growth is the higher humidity of this week and dry on the 6th.

behlgarden · « **Reply #92 on:** July 25, 2018, 06:08:18 PM »

humidity plays a big role no doubt. I have been watering a lot to ensure there is local humidity as well.

simon_grow · « **Reply #93 on:** July 25, 2018, 06:15:41 PM »

This heat wave hasn’t been bad for me except for the fact that almost all my American Beauty Dragonfruit are cracked. Simon’s Purple is not cracking and Halley’s Comet is just setting fruit so no cracks on them.

My Mangos are starting to grow like crazy. The last heatwave was much more brutal.

for me, I lost a lot of anona flowers. when temps hit 100, I dont get pollen nor does the pollination work for me. females stay females and dry out OR there is no pollen to be had, extreme dry heat kills it. I dont bother pollinating when its over 100 degrees in heat wave.

do others have same issue?

JF · « **Reply #95 on:** July 25, 2018, 06:27:18 PM »

Another 100F + day. I've loss many multigrafted branche, tress nearly all avocados and mangos..... chikos have been torched and loss fruits, lemons are dropping like flies and nearly all citrus fruitlets have dropped.

behlgarden · « **Reply #96 on:** July 25, 2018, 06:31:01 PM »

only thing thriving is freaking san augestine grass, guava, and palo verge trees. this heat wave was not as brutal although we hit 112 on Monday and 111 yesterday. But affects are not known until few days after.

WaterFowler · « **Reply #97 on:** July 25, 2018, 10:25:26 PM »

This heat wave is much worse for me. The last one only lasted a day and most trees recovered fine, then put on new growth like crazy. We are on day 3, and the passion fruit which did fine last heat wave is all torn up, all the young annonas are in bad shape, bananas of course beat up. All new growth on my big Lemon Zest looks like crap. The tree that got hit the worst is my Alano sapodilla, which wasn't affected seriously last heat wave, this time I partially covered it and it still got toasted. The Hasyas and my Morena still look good but it probably doesn't make a difference, I will probably never get fruit from any of the sapodillas.

simon_grow · « **Reply #98 on:** July 26, 2018, 01:26:38 AM »

A bunch more American Beauty Fruit cracked. I did not over water and my vines get enough calcium and other nutrients.

Freeze all your ugly dragon fruits for the season then use them to make dragon fruit wine at the end of the season. That's what I do
