GROWING SEASON Considered the period of the year during which the temperature of cultivated vegetation remains sufficiently high enough to allow plant growth.
Growing Season- the period of time between the last killing frost of spring and the first killing frost of autumn.
Growing Season
(Vegetation Season) Season during which meteorological conditions are favorable to the growth of plants.
Gust
Sudden brief increase of the wind speed over its mean value.
Growing season The number of days between the last spring freeze date and the first fall freeze date.
H
Haboob A dust or sandstorm that forms as cold downdrafts from a thunderstorm turbulently lift dust and sand into the air.
The 1917 growing season was again wet, particularly in South Australia and Western Australia, and there were floods in northeastern Victoria in June. A marked decline in the area planted in all States led to a smaller wheat crop of 3.1 million tonnes.
During the growing season, the leaves are green due to the large quantities of green pigment produced by the plant called, chlorophyll. With the coming of fall production of chlorophyll slows down.
Issued during the growing season when surface temperatures are expected to drop below freezing over a large area for an extended period of time, regardless whether or not frost develops.
Freezeup date ...
Killing frostFrost severe enough to end the growing season. This usually occurs at temperatures below 28 degrees Fahrenheit.
"Killing" may be used during the growing season when the temperature is expected to be low enough for a sufficient duration to kill all but the hardiest herbaceous crops.
As with the term "freeze", this condition is primarily significant during the growing season. If a frost period is sufficiently severe to end the growing season or delay its beginning, it is commonly referred to as a "killing frost".
It includes especially the length of the growing season, the relation of growth rate and crop yields to the various climatic factors and hence the optimal and limiting climates for any given crop, the value of irrigation, ...
Sukhoveis This is a Russian word (pronounced sue-koo-vay) for the hot, dry winds that sometimes blow during their growing season.
Freeze Warning - Issued during the growing season when surface temperatures are expected to drop below freezing over a large area for an extended period of time, regardless if frost develops or not.
Frost Advisory- Issued during the growing season when widespread frost formation is expected over an extensive area. Surface temperatures are usually in the mid 30s Fahrenheit.
Freeze Warning - It's issued during the growing season when the temperature falls below 32 degrees over a large area for an extended period of time. A freeze can destroy crops.
Typical of late spring, early growing season. Lower litter and duff layers are drying and beginning to contribute to fire intensity.

FROST/FREEZE WARNING: Below-freezing temperatures are expected during the growing season and may cause significant damage to plants and crops.
Frost - Water vapour which deposits directly as a solid on a surface colder than the surrounding air and which has a temperature below freezing. It is not frozen dew. A Killing Frost is a frost severe enough to end the growing season.
on a surface when the temperature is below freezing, 2) the condition that exists when the temperature of the earth's surface and earth-bound objects falls below freezing. An example is a killing frost, where a frost will end the growing season in ...

If a frost period is sufficiently severe to end the growing season (or delay its beginning), it is commonly referred to as a killing frost. See frost day, ground frost. 3. See frozen ground. 4. Same as hoarfrost. Compare rime.
At the ecosystem level, it is more precisely referred to as the crop water-use efficiency, the grams of dry weight gained by plants during the growing season per unit land area divided by the millimeters of water lost (including evaporation ...
