During the pepper harvest in the
autumn, the open - air food markets are a riot of color: bright green, red, and yellow bells; deep - red cherry peppers; large tomato peppers from pale yellow and pale green to darkest red; green and scarlet peppers like Anaheims and New Mexicans; yellow Hungarian wax peppers; long curved red and green peppers similar to cayennes; shorter, thicker ones like Italian pepperoncini; and small,
thin, pointed dark green and red peppers as flaming hot as those from Thailand.
The warming being seen
during the
Autumn and Winter is mainly due to increased heat fluxes from the surface (Screen & Simmonds 2010) due to
thinner ice and more open water, so represents a net heat loss to the atmosphere.
