February Weather Report

Dry and wet air masses battled across the landscape for yet another month. Despite many dry, sunny days, the dry season so far is stacking up to be very wet -- 6.8 inches of rain in January, and 6.1 inches in February. We normally get less than an inch each month. Many farmers in Costa Rica have not been able to plant due to the damp conditions.

The heaviest rainfall came on Feb. 9 -- two inches. The highest winds were on Feb. 2 -- 34 mph. High temperatures were generally in the mid-70s. The lowest temperature was on Feb. 22 -- 56 degrees.

Baltimore orioles are still hanging out in our porĂ³ tree. Eastern meadowlarks and bob whites have arrived for the "dry" season.
Our roses are just loving the weather.
 Happy gardening!
