This summer weather perdictions?
- Thread starter jay-toker
- Start date
Have you been to the NOAA site Jay-toker? It forecast for the future. Ive looked at them for years and im not sure how accurate they are. Ive found more use in looking at weather patterns. For example, this has been the snowiest winter we've had in 25 years. Im looking at the summer conditions of 1986. Ive concluded weather is cyclycle.
Weve had several "thousand year" droughts and floods in the past 10 years. I can only guess they will continue.

No I haven't will though. Thanks for the tip.
Hopefully no more flooding happens. At least not like last year. Last year I had plants get flooded halfway up a hill. No joke. It was like a small leveled area on the hill. Always thought they wouldn't get enough instead they ended up under a foot of water. This years plan is in a different area/town but close to a brook for ease of watering. Hopefully the past doesn't repeat itself.

Last year sucked, not much rain, but intense heat that caused ALL agricultural crops in the north-east to finish 2+ weeks early with a poor yield. I've checked out the noaa site a few months back, I hope it's not accurate or saying something different now, I heard early cool wet fall!
I try to analyze the average monthly rainfalls on weather.com, I figure it always averages out at some point right? Weather IS cyclical & statistical, but you can't really predict it long term. Short term it's real predictable at certain times of the season, summer isn't one of them, I got screwed hard last year by putting out plants in a spot I couldn't water, it was supposed to rain that night.... none. They said it was going to rain the next night....... Didn't rain for nearly two weeks, cooked 1/2 the plants to death & the rest were the runties shits you've ever seen. .25 gram lowryders, lol.
AWESOME idea for a thread BTW.

Planting near running water is always risky. Small brooks can channel large volumes of warter during a heavy downpour. Then a week later can be bone dry causing you to travel its length looking for water or making you haul some in. Make things easier on yourself when the brook's waters are flowing freely in spring, stash some away for later on in the summer when the going can get tough.

I concur on planting near brooks or creeks. I fish small streams here in the northeast and I'm not alone. At 40N we had a real dry/hot summer last year and with apparent climate change I expect more of the same. It was a great year on my small (4 acres) farm, excellent weather for both tomato's & peppers. The wet late summer and early autumn caused some botrytis/mold but not nearly as bad as the previous four summers.

It'd be nice if we could get some cooler weather/rain this summer but that's just how the high desert works lol.
and keep an eye out for late season tomato blight in the NE.
starts as a little red dot with white around it, looks like you dropped acid on a leaf or something, then within a week your whole plant is gone. wet summer=trouble.
im going to look for some good links on the internet, I used to have some somewhere.
Madbuddha, You guys need to read the sticky on leaf spot at the top of the page. We've found the treatments that stop it. Its a terrible disease that cost me 2 crops before i got it by the throat. Not this year.
Climate change is in full swing in my enviroment. If not, ive offended the hell out of the Karma god somehow! I used to grow and not even have to water my plants. Now, Im either battling a biblical fuckin flood, a biblical drought or an accompanying biblical plaque of fungus and pests!
The only things i havent seen yet are boils on my ass and raining frogs,....but we still have the season before us. Im expecting them at any time now!

Even though I don't live in St. Augustine Fl. I check the Surf Station websites reports there for the Gulf, Atlantic & NE and these storms bring good waves for hopeful surfers and are charted and forecast very early. Imo better than any weather channel websites I've seen and no hoarding of NOAA satellite images lol.
It seems that I have forgotten an entire year. Last year was not to bad it was the year before that it had rained 24ish days in june. I never believed it when older folks would say the years fly by well how about a 20 year old forgetting an entire year. ahahah
Here's the list may change before planting though GG3, GG3 x Black Diamond F1, Krk's outdoor mix, and auto hindu kush,
I'll be picking up one or two more packs. Of either
GG3, Maverick, Auto Afghan x Manitoba Madness, and another krk's outdoor mix.
Thanks man
Flooding shouldn't be to much of a problem. In all the time I've lived here (about 10 years) the brook has had one major flood. Thanks for the concern.
Thanks Sick this should prove vary helpful.
Hey there fellow UDG'er. Or is my memory not working again maybe it was the auto forum here. Either way. Even if the results from these prediction sites are guestimations it gives me something to plan for.

Good luck hopefully those boils don't show up. All jokes aside though have fun, stay safe, most of all grow on bro.
Cool sticky, however didn't really see anything that stops it. I've been using LC type fungicides since 08 with varying degrees of success. And my version of the disease seems to be much stronger then those pictured, and ALWAYS has red around those acid looking dots. in the very earliest stages it can be mistaken for copper spotting. within two weeks from spotting it vapes the whole plant. Brown crumbly mold sorta shit. sad really.
cleaning the area has been somewhat effective for me, but the "late-season tomato blight" specifically overwinters well.
