  • Climate of Florida

    Climate of Florida

    Climate of Florida Introduction This publication consists of a narrative that describes some of the principal climatic features and a number of climatological summaries for stations in various geographic regions of the State. The detailed information presented should be sufficient for general use; however, some users may require additional information. The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) located in Asheville, North Carolina is authorized to perform special services for other government agencies and for private clients at the expense of the requester. The amount charged in all cases is intended to solely defray the expenses incurred by the government in satisfying such specific requests to the best of its ability. It is essential that requesters furnish the NCDC with a precise statement describing the problem so that a mutual understanding of the specifications is reached. Unpublished climatological summaries have been prepared for a wide variety of users to fit specific applications. These include wind and temperature studies at airports, heating and cooling degree day information for energy studies, and many others. Tabulations produced as by-products of major products often contain information useful for unrelated special problems. The Means and Extremes of meteorological variables in the Climatography of the U.S. No.20 series are recorded by observers in the cooperative network. The Normals, Means and Extremes in the Local Climatological Data, annuals are computed from observations taken primarily at airports. The editor of this publication expresses his thanks to those State Climatologists, who, over the years, have made significant and lasting contributions toward the development of this very useful series.

    Common Weeds That Can Interfere with Establishment, Sustainability, and Aesthetics of Wildflower Plantings

    Common Weeds That Can Interfere with Establishment, Sustainability, and Aesthetics of Wildflower Plantings Potential sites for wildflowers should be not be considered when the occurrence of any weeds listed below is anything but very sparse.1, 2 These weeds will substantially reduce the likelihood of an aesthetically pleasing planting, or its establishment or sustainability. For example, tall weeds like dogfennel and ragweed can easily grow through a dense stand of shorter wildflowers like black-eyed susan or tickseed and make the planting look unsightly. Weeds like Florida betony or Mexican clover will hinder establishment as well as re-seeding because these weeds can form a dense groundcover that is difficult to eradicate. Vines and vine-like plants can affect aesthetics when they grow up through the wildflowers and spread out over the canopy of wildflowers. COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Dogfennel Eupatorium capillifolium Fiddlers Spurge Poinsettia heterophylla Florida Betony Stachys floridana Horseweed, Marestail Conyza canadensis Mexican Clover, Mexican Tea Richardia spp. Nutsedges: Yellow and Purple Cyperus esculentus / Cyperus rotundus Ragweed: Common Ambrosia artemisiifolia Ragweed: Giant Ambrosia trifida Torpedograss Panicum repens Tropical Bushmint Cantinoa mutabilis (Hyptis mutabilis) Vaseygrass Paspalum urvillei Vine and Vine-Like Plants Dewberry Rubus spp. Greenbrier Smilax spp. In cases where these weeds are very sparse, and the site is otherwise suitable for wildflowers, eradicate these weeds during site preparation. And be vigilant thereafter; as with all weeds, these are most effectively controlled while they are young and are not flowering. Starting on page 2, details about each species is provided, including links to information and photos to aid in identification and management of these weeds.
