Garden~

When to plant what & how in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama.

July gardening in Florida is harvesting, keeping the weeds down..North & central FL can still plant a few summer type plants. South FL should plant nothing this month. August is huge planting month for all of FL. So get ready..July is a good month to plan & order seeds for fall & winter plants. Look for a few cloudy cooler hours this month to keep the beds & containers up if you can, makes fall garden go in alot easier.

North FL~ Lima Beans, southern peas (cow, black eyed), okra, eggplant, gourds & watermelon.

Central FL~ okra, southern peas & gourds.

South FL~ Plant nothing..

July 2012
28th-30th Seeds Planted Now Will Do Poorly And Yield Little.
31st Any Aboveground Crops That Can Be Planted Now Will Do Well.

Globally everything faded away except 92W which is now 09W TROPICAL DEPRESSION FERDIE.



Interesting to the Atlantic waters is the LA blob which may persist another day or more & the wave over Hispaniola which looks to be coming to South Fl & then Central FL very late Sunday through maybe Wed.

Hades~ Thanks for the updates:)

Bogon~ Awesome choice there. Love the subtleties, those chickens can throw some dirt too..

90E is new..

Our early week blob is a few hours ahead of schedule. Should kinda flare out & diminish before it really gets over FL but still enhance our chance of afternoon rain the next few days.

Good time to harvest & tie up tomatoes in the wild garden.

Clouds are coming bigger & faster from the east than this morning.

Rob~ They've had a few dry years over there in Africa now.. After this blob rolls out it should be some of the thickest we've seen so far this year.

Hades~ I should put some models up. Thanks.

Got a taste of that blob.. Drove to The Hilton in Indian Harbor Beach. Low hanging wall cloud coming in from the ocean with bits of rotation as we are walking in. Was meeting people at the pool. Go through the lobby, got to the glass door just in time to see the wind hit. The scene was beach chairs flipping, umbrellas & cushions flying, glass breaking, a lot of tourists running. The door in front of me was held shut by the wind. Undaunted I shoved it open & got out in it before all the animated objects had dropped from the sky. Found part of the family, got their storm frightened child upstairs & back with it's mom. From the 10th floor looking east the wind was howling against the glass slider. Looking down at the beach the sand was flying from south to north. The guy trying to put lounge chairs away looked in pain from the sandblasting. Saw big lounge chairs rolling down the beach in the wind. Sand started burying towels, cushions & anything that was not swept up in the wind. Driving back down Eau Gallie every political sign was down the whole Blvd. A huge blow up eagle for advertizing was face down & limbs were everywhere.

Bogon~ There is palm fronds & such laying about about my lawn. My highs today were 27mph & 95.4ºF.


There is a video here someone took near Pineda, at Rotary Park, on the river of the winds here today. Also said about 2500 lost power.

About 3:30 p.m., Melbourne police responded to the northern end of Pineapple Avenue after a man tumbled from a boat into the Indian River Lagoon during the storm.

He escaped injury, Sgt. Cheryl Trainer said.

Two men were trapped in a sailboat during a squall after the vessel struck the Eau Gallie Causeway, breaking its mast, Trainer said.

Another boater towed the sailboat to shore.
(I saw this going on when I came back over the causeway)

In Cocoa Beach, a strong gust sent a windsurfer flying into sand dunes by Doubletree Cocoa Beach Oceanfront, said Eisen Witcher, Brevard County Ocean Rescue assistant chief.

The windsurfer was not injured, he said.

It's about time for the tropics to heat up again. Climatologically it's that time of year. Throughout the month of July the Atlantic basin has been quiet because of wind shear, Saharan dust and because the descending phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation has blanketed the western hemisphere.



Finally the brown downer has shuffled off toward Africa, and the green rising phase of the MJO has arrived in the eastern Pacific.

There's a blob moving west at 15N 40W. This morning's models don't develop this wave into a hurricane, but it will give us something to watch. It should bring enhanced rain chances to the Antilles starting Monday.

Got a taste of that blob.. Drove to The Hilton in Indian Harbor Beach. Low hanging wall cloud coming in from the ocean with bits of rotation as we are walking in. Was meeting people at the pool. Go through the lobby, got to the glass door just in time to see the wind hit. The scene was beach chairs flipping, umbrellas & cushions flying, glass breaking, a lot of tourists running. The door in front of me was held shut by the wind. Undaunted I shoved it open & got out in it before all the animated objects had dropped from the sky. Found part of the family, got their storm frightened child upstairs & back with it's mom. From the 10th floor looking east the wind was howling against the glass slider. Looking down at the beach the sand was flying from south to north. The guy trying to put lounge chairs away looked in pain from the sandblasting. Saw big lounge chairs rolling down the beach in the wind. Sand started burying towels, cushions & anything that was not swept up in the wind. Driving back down Eau Gallie every political sign was down the whole Blvd. A huge blow up eagle for advertizing was face down & limbs were everywhere.



ROFL :)))

94W is dead.

ASCAT just missed the Central Atlantic wave. Here's OSCAT from lastnight.


Those storm yesterday killed atleast two. More is expected today..stay safe!

Finn~ Thanks for bring that. I hope it passes.

Bogon~ MJO really got itself bundled up into one mass at the moment. This forecast is calling for it to be slightly weaker than the last. Hard to say though. Seen most the MJO forecasts flounder the last few weeks.


Shep~ It was a moment that the tourists were easily discerned from the natives..

MJO is sitting in the middle of the phase chart at the moment. Not much amplitude. Longitudinal position is near what I think of as MJO's home base over the Moluccas. There's a big pool of warm water there year round.

I don't put much faith in MJO forecasts either. If you read the explanatory notes at CPC's MJO page, it says that the predictions are experimental. Weather models don't (yet) reliably reproduce the MJO phenomenon.

That's why I like to post the little infrared / velocity anomaly chart. It gives a good idea what the MJO was doing a couple of days ago, which is about as close as most of us can come to understanding it. :o)

Tropical clouds are smiling at 93W flooding the Philippines... Cloudsat of the low that makes the right eye in the smiley face in the WPAC (left eye is 95W).

Wave swirl has come undone a bit since lastnight...
OSCAT


Bogon~ I like that one alot too. Thanks for posting it. MJO sites shuffled around alot in the last year. I don't think I could find it quick at the moment.

I have a hard time picking a favorite. They all have ways of picking out different things. Here's one of my favs.. Something about graphing the world & mjo strength like that.



Easy way to decipher the zone it's in for comparing to climo for where tropical storms might form that month with MJO in that place. We are just about pare for zone 5 month of July.
