We did a temp dip (two degrees is all though) for a couple weeks before putting males with females. This is our first season but we have gotten lots and lots of great locks with our pairs.. we have also put males in with females during heavy rain storms.. i LOVE June-July in Florida it rains almost everyday!

Rugger, im sorry to hear you doubt it but in our experience (This year) you can create your own weather changes, and if you have weather like we do there are all kinds of drops in pressure to help. I know for a fact (through our breeder who has done it for 25+years) you can breed year round, sometimes during the year is more ideal then others but it can absolutely be done.
