And she was saying that for whatever the reason Redwood trees have difficulty processing rain for some reason. However, they are really good at processing mist and moisture from Fog in the air. This is why they do well along the coast from Big Sur up to ORegon where there is this summer fog we have that we often call the June Glooms. So, where we live there are two winters. One in winter and then a rainless winter in the Summer traditionally starting around June but global climate changes often make it start earlier now in May or April or even in March and sometimes lasting until September or October much longer than before global Warming. So, is this good for the Redwoods or people? Not sure about either actually at this point.
However, what this does (at least where I live) is that we never have temperatures normally much above 70 or 80 degrees even during the hottest parts of the summer and the trees and many people like this as well to completely avoid the heat of summers pretty much.
However, more and more people are starting to buy air conditioner even in our area for the 1 day or 1 week when it might get hotter than normal usually in August or September or October.
But, needless to say homes are more expensive generally speaking along the coast where you never get 90 or 100 plus degree temperatures usually any time of the year. Also, the high and low fog often prevents forest fires pretty much in this coastal zone too. So, likely fire insurance is less in this coastal fog area too.
