June Heating Degree Days & Rainfall

June cumulative season-to-date heating degree days were 510; actual heating degree days for the month were 265. 


The 2012 season-to-date numbers are somewhat skewed warmer than the monthly results, due to the significantly warmer April temps.  



June rainfall was 2.3 inches, almost 3/4s of an inch more than normal.  Total season-to-date rainfall since October 43.5 inches.






The net effects of the cooler, wetter weather are: significantly higher than normal lateral/secondary shoots this year; and a later, slower bloom with moderate amounts of infloresence necrosis.
