Probably, but you never know. In the fall of 2007, the first three or four days of October were in the low 90's. I was trying to clean up the garden and it was HOT!

Not this Oct 1, looks cool!

My palms(Trachys(-:) will love it.

Looks like lots of 70s (actually all 70s) and clouds after this heat wave over here. But the plants are not taking the heat for granted and my banana plants are attempting to push a new leaf out in just 3 days. One of my plumerias is going to make a huge bloom and it might be the largest plumeria bloom I have ever had! Summer is definitely gone, but at least the weather will feel summer like for another 2 or 3 days before clouds and rain roll in. At least we have next spring to look forward too. I continue to get more ideas for the yard and I bought a texas star hibiscus, and a Hibiscus acetosella. I also got a 8 foot tall fig tree that will go in the garage for the winter this year and then when spring comes, I will put it in its permanent spot. Im not really looking forward to the cold weather and snow, but in about 2 months, a majority of the potted plants will be inside.
Im expecting another frond, maybe 2 fronds from my trachy. They seem to grow just as fast in the fall as they do in the summer and spring.
Good luck!

I hear you Alex. My palms, plants are drinking up this warm humid weather. The nights have dropped into the upper 50s a lot, but we still have day heat and sun driving the growth spurt forward.

Its interesting that Andy notices palms and grass are growing. There are both monocots:)But growing for differing reason. A palm is a grass.

The plants are drying up so fast, it's hard to keep up. I find that they are drying faster now than in mid summer. And I'm concerned about more severe watering restrictions. Everything is still out (palms, citrus, even the "ultra tropicals") Normally, I would have started protecting some of the more tender plants, but hard to be motivated to protect from frost when it's 87 and HUMID. I move the non-hardy tropicals into a frost protected area in three distinct waves (ultratropical, tropical, and subtropical tolerances). I'm not moving anything while I still have to use the air conditioning at night!--Last year, the Queen palms stayed out until December. The leaves that are falling, are due to severe drought--not any autumnal chill!

The next week is in the mid to high 90f's for me.Lows will be in the low to mid 60f's.It might reach 100f as well.

Wwell it WAS it, my coconuts and bottle palms will be spending their 4th stait night indoors and tomorrow will be 4 full days (96 hours). There is no hink of a temperate hitting 70 in the next 10 days. It's supposed to be rainy and 59 tomorrow. I think my Butia will be coming in tonight. My smalles coconut begins a 3 day UPS trip to West Palm Beach tomorrow. I look forwartd to seeing pictures of it shooting up in the regular 80s.
