The weather.

Coqui do not lay eggs in water. They lay them above ground in a protected spot that the male then sits on for the 12-14 days until they hatch. Finding a male coqui sitting on a batch of eggs is a prize - you kill the male (who makes all the noise) and a batch of new ones all at once. I have several plastic plumbing "tees" placed in their favorite vegetation spots. I check them once a week.

Major weather pattern change across the Central North Pacific this weekend! Finally the long and unusual weather will come to an end! The pattern will flip-flop with a strong High pressure system to replace the very long duration Low pressure in the North Pacific. We will go back to usual trade wind showers and trade winds-Yeah! Although we won't see the end of Pacific cold fronts our weather pattern will be much more typical for this area;

Thanks for the update. I checked the weather forecast and it looks like showers return Friday night. Cancel the water deliveries!

This discussion is so typical--everybody talks about the weather, but what are y'all DOING about it?

Its been great weather these last couple of months. Sunny dry days, cool dry nights, no coquis. and an explosion of fruit on all my trees. My Hayden mango tree has passed the flowering and fruit set stage and now has thousands of quarter size keikis (can't wait for May). If it wasn't for having to pay to refill my catchment tank, I think I could get use to this weather year round!

Chance of snow for Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa this weekend and into next week. A chunk of cold air is expected to move over the Hawaiian Islands this weekend. Deep layered tropical moisture will be moving East from the Eastern Pacific, meeting right over our mountains. This is a prescription for snow and large amounts of rain for lower elevation s. Daytime heating may move the freezing level up and snow could turn to rain in the afternoons but nighttime heat loss should bring the snow back at night;

Here's what they're talking about;

Although only small amounts of snow are forecasted at this time, that could change depending on exactly where the two air masses meet up and which air mass wins the modifying struggle. It does look like a long duration event and this alone could lead to heavier amounts adding up over time.
