This is my weather Forecast.
I live in the Canary Islands. People here lives close to the coast where the weather is always good, but my home is up in the mountain. So it is colder and rainier. In winter my lowest record is 9 C (at night) and usually we can get 17 C as a day maximum. What you see in my forecast is the usual for spring. In summer we can get as much as 34 but that only happens a few days. At night 16 C is usual. Fall is like spring.

So what USDA zone better suits my bonsai corner?

This is how it looks like....

Wow! Neat!

I’m no expert, but that sounds in the USDA Zones 10b-11 range...

How is your humidity?
 
This report is for a town 150 meters higher altitude at a distance of 2 km from my home.....(it´s colder there)

With microclimates...it is best to choose your own coldest night temp. I'm now a zone 4...and the map has my location a zone 6. But lake front living...that classification is wrong for me.

To me you look to be in zone 8.

That’s a cool chart!

I think he said HIS LOWEST is 9C During winter . Which is around 49 F.

So by that chart you shared... it’d be at least 11.. right?

The chart has Celsius temps. So I'm looking at that side of the chart. So no...I'm not seeing what you are calculating.

Edit: You are correct. The area I seen had a negative before it. On my phone I missed that. Until zooming in. I only seen the 9. So yes...you are correct. An 11 zone.
