Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe November through January time period in the Central and Southern San Joaquin Valley has been abnormally mild. The chilling hours (durations of temperatures less than 45 degrees F. and needed by deciduous trees for winter dormancy) are much lower than previous mild years and much below normal seasonal readings. In general the chilling hour totals were only about 5/8ths of the previous 4 years' relatively low average at several key agricultural research stations. Similarly, official NWS records at Fresno and Bakersfield reflect the mild winter season. In November 2005 Fresno had an average monthly temperature 4.8 degrees F. above normal, +6.8F in December, and +2.7F in January 2006. Bakersfield was +3.1F in November 2005, +4.9F in December, and +1.8F in January 2006. Agricultural losses will be difficult to assess caused by this abnormally mild winter.
