Fri., Sat. and Sun. here is forecasted above 100F. Not sure if that's a good thing. Most of my full sun plants will be getting cooked. Should see some growth out of the rock gardens!

Last year when it went over a 100 it burned my Waggie and
Princeps leaves-not a good thing!

I started growing palms in 2004 and to this day we have not seen an official temperature of 100. it hit 99 twice last July. One of those days had a dew point of 76 and that was as hot as I ever felt feeling. the summer of 88 was the hottest i can remember. it hit over 100 probably 12 times that summer and that is extraordinary for here. Now they are saying maybe 98 tomorrow, It's bone dry here so I'll have to do a lot of watering.

the lowest in the 7 day forecast is 95 - with several 100+ days too. Are there any palms that like this kind of heat? MAYBE my Brazaria's?

What ever looks healthy in the desert-Washys,Cerifera,Bizzies etc.

97 at 2:42, 100 possible, feels like an over outside

I noticed it was still 90F in StL @ midnight last night.

I think it was around 83F here.

hard to say but i think we hit 100 yesterday, if that is the case it's the first time since I started growing palms. it reached 105 in Ypsilanti ( city that is souteast of detroit). I don't remember in my fifetime hearing of a temp that high in Michigan (the record high is 113 set in 1936)

97 right now in StL with no sign in forecast of lower temps or rain. I'm lucky to have a well that I can irrigate with but plants are still getting cooked. I think I lost my Trachy yesterday, doesn't look good.

Nick-
That's too bad about the Trachy, all my palms are heat lovers so they are thriving. I have to water them every day. Its hot and dry here. 94 but the humidity is only 29% so by the time I get home in the evening all the water's been sucked up by the roots or dried up. My stupid cat snuck out the door this morning when I left. I'm sure she is loving it.

100 here with a dew-point of 75... hot and sticky!

on second look, it is 102 with a heat index of 112

97 with heat index of 103. This is the second heat wave of the season. Really too hot to work outside without risking heat stroke except in the early morning. Ground moisture has been good so probably difficult to beat 100 at this point, even had a warm front squall line come through at 4:00 am this morning. My Roebellini is doing its now annual blooming. Date palms don't mind this heat as long as they are well-watered. Stay cool!
