Yesterday was 85F and 75% humidity. Today was 105F and 20% humidity.

What area of San Diego are you located?

Yeah..Yeah, One of my many brothers lives in El Toro, CA., and he's always bragging about the weather. He retired from the Marines and was stationed there, and decided to stay. I'm guessing 60 miles north from you.

El Toro is about 85 miles. Similar climate, but can be warmer and gets more rain.

I am about 5 miles due east of downtown.

I can attest to the heat and dryness of San Diego right now. It sure was tough getting a good nights sleep last night without AC. Fig paradise turned into people hell for a few days. Tomorrow is supposed to return to more normal temps and I can't wait.

By the way Jon, I appreciate you taking the time from your busy day to let me hang around for a couple of hours. I surely enjoyed myself and tasting the many varieties was great. After having such a poor season myself it was great to taste some ripe figs. My son and daughter in law are thrilled by the fig I brought them. Now I have to help them plant it and teach them a little about its care.

It is kinda funny, Gene. We have had unusual, unseasonable humidity for 6-8 weeks. You would have felt right at home, and now: Bang!! Driest weather of the year.

After all the rain we had in Charlotte, the air has been dry the past week. Temps have been in the 70s and 80s.....60s at night. Tommorrow thru Tuesday, we are expecting tons of rain! ARGH!!!!!

Yeah.  Yesterday we went property shopping again in Fallbrook, and since we were leaving he hot dessert for cooler Fallbrook, I dressed accordingly!  Why I didn't wear shorts and a sleevless top is beyond my brain!  The property was ugly, but it was worse because I was so miserable in that heat!  It was ugly hot!!

Well well well,

Look who's going around with his chest of confidence up high?

It's Mr. San Diego himself.

Jon, we had the same temps as you have and better.
Can't wait till next Spring when you come here crying about your weather. I'll be happy to remind of it. LOL

Actually the issue is how figs respond, and how you have to change with the weather. Places that hadn't been dry all summer are all of a sudden dry and needing water.

People often ask how much to water. And this is an example of why that question is so hard to answer. 85 is not the same as 105. Also 105 and muggy is not the same as 105 and dry.

Plants constantly emit water from their leaves, but the quantity is affected by the humidity and temperature. So suddenly fully watered plant had droopy leaves, esp the tender new growth because they were losing water faster than the plant could supply it. The problem was internal in the plant, not external in the amount of irrigation.

Ok Jon,

Then I will stand corrected. And sorry!
I thought you were taking another jab at us northern folks.

You do know we wouldn't put it past you?

Well Jon if you need some cooling off here Tuesday going into Wednesday morning the low is predicted to be  40.

Heck little cooler that and it could snow here.

It's hot as heck here, maybe mid 80s now. I want it to stop.

Wimpy Californians, lol.
