Great sailing weather ahead, Hong Kong orchids and stone-fruit trees are blooming
PDT comes early this year
High winds in San Diego today by Saenz Photography
March Is The Proverbial Windy Month here in San Diego, as it is in most places. From midday to late afternoon, sun-warmed air expands and rises over the county’s interior, drawing in an influx of cool air from the coast to replace it. These afternoon sea breezes will continue at peak strength until well into the summer, providing dependable conditions for such sports as sailing, kite flying, and hang-gliding.
Bauhinia × blakeana, commonly called the Hong Kong orchid. The tree blooms from early November to the end of March.
Orchid Trees, Now At Their Flamboyant Best in front yards and public spaces throughout the city, are showing off their large, orchid-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, and maroon. Orchid trees thrive in areas with a mild winter climate, hence their popularity in Hawaii, Southern California, and Arizona.
Peach trees typically bloom in late winter or early spring.
Ornamental Peach Trees, With Their Radiant White And Pink Blossoms, are lighting up the manicured landscape in Balboa Park’s west side. These and other stone-fruit trees — some of which produce edible fruit, some of which do not — belong to the genus Prunus. Several native Prunus species contribute to San Diego County’s natural vegetation as well, among them, holly leaf cherry, choke cherry, desert almond, and desert apricot. That last one, soon to bloom on the rocky hillsides of the Anza-Borrego Desert, attracts swarms of bees with its sweet smelling nectar.

Daylight Saving Time Is Occurring On March 9 This Year, almost as early as is possible. Because it takes place on the second Sunday in March, the earliest possible date would be March 8. The latest possible would be March 14. Our sunsets are now occurring a minute later every evening as we approach the vernal equinox on March 20. This upcoming period — called “Daylight Time” and abbreviated “DT" — ends on the first Sunday in November, when “Standard Time” or “ST” begins. These abbreviations are then added to those for each time zone, so that we will experience PDT and PST while the middle of the nation has CDT and CST, and the East Coast has EDT and EST. This sneaky trick in civil time reckoning is designed to rouse us out of bed an hour earlier, so that we can enjoy what seems to be an extra hour of daylight before the sun goes down. There is this upside: Daylight Saving Time, when applied to the months with long daylight hours, has been proven to save significant amounts of electrical energy.
