My croton is growing pretty fast right now. It loves the hot weather we’ve been having here the last few weeks. Photo taken June 29, 2025.

We’ve had 5 or 6 heatwaves starting in February, but the ones we’ve had over the last month haven’t been too hot, only up to 95 degrees f (35 degrees c) max. Further inland it’s been much hotter. The SD County deserts are extremely hot now, Octotillo was 119 degrees (48.3 c) today.

That's a tremendous amount of heat! I experienced temps of up to 40+C in Madrid when I worked there for a couple of years & then I was 50 years younger than I am now.

The desert southwest deserts are the hottest in the world. Death Valley, California still holds the record for the hottest official temp ever recorded on earth, 56.7°C (134 F) at Furnace Creek.

Yes, horrible heat! I stay far away from the low desert this time of year. It’s like being in an oven.

Your Croton is looking very colourful, Andy!
If it loves the hot weather it would feel at home this year in the UK as we have had 2 heatwaves & are currently beginning to experience the third!
