There are also heat zone maps for
summer temps, of course the USDA doesn't publish one that I know of, I
think they are based on the average number of days above 86 degrees and I think
its geared more toward avoiding heat damage than anything else just as the
hardiness is more geared toward avoiding frost damage.
here is a link if you are
interested.
I noticed the American Horticultural
society hadn't updated their maps online, guess it takes them a while
LOL
I've seen other maps detailing
average high and low temps. but of course those are separate maps for each
month. Its pretty difficult to incorporate a ton of diverse info into
one map for a large area
I've found the frost dates vary quite
a bit from here to areas only 5-10 miles away so I tend to look more
at more detailed local charts than maps. I think the maps
are useful but in a more macroscopic manner and as a starting point
for deciding which crops one can plant, usually new ones I haven't tried here
before, not when to plant them.
