0.23"" of rain last week and light rain is falling at the time of this report. Cooler temps with the highs no warmer than the upper 70's, a couple in the high 60's. The ground is dry except that which is absorbing the current rainfall. No use of air conditioning or heating last week. Cool season grass is greening up with the rain and cool nights. Weeds which did not grow all summer are beginning to show some life. Our ash trees are showing a few golden leaves. Humming birds that frequented our feeders appear to have moved on from this location.  View

Feeling like fall with another week of cooler temps and plenty of cloud cover. Less stress on plants and lawns, which is great. Though still no meaningful precipitation to change the conditions scale. We are running around 0.80" below normal for September. I've noticed a handful of established Dwarf Alberta Spruces and Juniper shrubs that are turning brown and dying. Most likely drought related.  View

Vegetation growing along roads and public grounds still green and lush. Just enough rain so far this year. Ran the sprinkler on our lawn this morning for the first time in 10 days or so. Lawn is drying in thin spots. Our soil is handy load and probably could use the addition of organic material such as Bloom from ECUA Pensacola.  View

September has brought 62% above normal precipitation for the month, most of it falling from September 16 through the 21st. Even though the last seven days has seen little rain, there is good ground moisture and some agricultural fields still have standing pools of water. The Fox River is at a higher level than would be expected for this time of year. Of note, is that only March saw above normal precipitation for the first six months of the Water Year, while The last six months of the year all but May was above normal. On balance, the year recorded, at my location, about 12% or 4.65 inches more precipitation than the PRISM average.  View

The question is when will it stop raining every day. Everything is worrisome mud in the fields which would be dry instead in a normal year. It is concerning for have the crops dry for the bins and then the worry of getting large heavy equipment stuck in the fields. Some fields appear to be ready for combining should it become dry and the corn is also drying down. I believe the humming birds left for warmer climes this weekend as haven't been seen the last few days at the feeder. Was able to mow the lawn one day tho the ground was overly satuated in areas. Mullberry seedlings keep emerging causing aggravation of disgust. Have seen a few groups of geese gathered in open fields.  View

I received 1.72 inches of rain this week. The soil is saturated to 6 inches. I cannot walk on the lawn without sinking in. The trees and grass are still mostly green, but the leaf color change is starting. Conditions are moderately wet. Temperatures were below normal this week with the cloud cover. The monthly precipitation total is 7.60 inches (4.79 inches above normal), which is 271 percent of normal. Precipitation here for the year is now 34.24 inches, which is 7.18 inches above normal (127 percent of normal). Precipitation for the water year is 37.83 inches, which is 5.18 inches above normal (118 percent of normal). Plants and wildlife. Bird visits to the bird bath have remained steady.

Soil is near saturation and spongey in portions. No surface ponding however from past week's rains which were fortunately more steady soakers than downpours and were for the most part not accompanied by strong winds. Significant but not damaging drainage runoff thru property on slopes. Fewer deer and other wildlife observed this week than typical. More mushrooms and fungus than in years, seemingly including types poisonous for pets and perhaps other wildlife. Especially noticeable along roadway shoulders. Further expected rains, if accompanied by high winds might be risk for unhealthy trees to topple. Possible powerline hazard? Wildfire spread risk reduced, at least for short term.  View

About a third of an inch of rain did little to change the soil moisture. While some water was added to the dry ponds, it did not bring the level up to the spillway so still no water is flowing downstream. The creek is still bone dry as in the picture. The plants that are not irrigated are stills showing signs of water stress with curled up leaves. We remain under Stage 2 water restrictions with no sign of any imminent changes in the forecast. Lawns are impacted and some areas will need to be completely rebuilt if we ever get back to a time when we can resume irrigations. Deer are not showing much fear of people and it is quite common to walk within 10s of feet of them and have them ignore us. Meanwhile bird migrations are in full swing. Radar estimated 2,279,700 passed over our county last night.  View

Still “Moderately Dry” here. While we’ve had 0.71” rain this week (NOAA Normal: 4.16” for the same time period), it only fell on 2 days - 0.15” on 23 Sept and 0.56” on 25 Sept (with a TRACE on 24 Sept). Both the US Drought Monitor and the SC State Climate Office now have this area back in a “D2 - Severe Drought” status, with a “D1 - Moderate Drought” immediately to our West. SC Forestry app showing 15 wildfires across SC. Local roadside ditches and swamps dry. Local non irrigated lawns dry, brown and crunchy with bare spots showing. Mosquito population seems to be rebounding here at home even with the little rain we’ve had this past week. Birds and squirrels still busy at the feeders, especially the hummingbirds. They’ve emptied one of the 8 oz feeders from full to empty in the last 3-4 days. This could be partly due to the recent cooler temperatures (the cooler temps were really nice for us). We’ve started having the “helicopter seeds” dropping from our pine trees the last couple days. Our river birch trees have really started dropping more leaves now. Local retention ponds are either dry or getting a bit low. On a Poinsett State Park hike this past Wednesday the waterfall was flowing (see photo) and the main spillway was barely trickling. The lake drain valve is now closed; it had been open in recent weeks due to expected heavy rain that never materialized. Surprisingly, there were NO mosquitos on the trails, but our heavier rain this week didn’t occur until later. The lack of mosquitos may explain the fewer spider webs this trip compared to the last few visits. The park’s maple, poplar, sourwood, dogwood and wild grape leaves are now turning color and falling. Hate to see the final grapes falling, they make a nice snack on these hikes. In the last couple years the wild grapes have been bearing even into November. There were quite fewer squirrels this hike compared to the last few weeks. The park’s smaller creeks are either dry or barely trickling (see photos). The forest floor’s leaf litter was wet from the previous night’s rain, but the soil underneath was either dry or barely damp. Hart Creek that mostly originates in the park, and feeds Shanks Creek, was running, but at a quite reduced flow (see photo - winding light colored sand through darker mud). Shanks Creek, the main creek flowing through the park that feeds the park lake, was flowing well, but down quite a bit from earlier this year. Shanks Creek runs into the park from Christmas Mill Pond immediately outside the park, which itself is spring fed. As for local water levels, SC DES Groundwater Monitoring Wells are down 2-10 feet from earlier in the year. From Data Explorer: September rain: 1.23” (-2.51" : 33% of NOAA Normal). Yearly rain: 20.88” (-15.23" : 58% of NOAA Normal). Last 30 days: 1.41”/NOAA Normal: 9.31”. Last 90 days: 7.98”/NOAA Normal: 19.30”.  View

0.01” + a Trace is the total rain received last week. 1.56” of Evapotranspiration. Afternoon high temps generally mid to upper 90s - the first week in 9 weeks that we did not have a triple digit day! Morning lows in the 70s with a few days mid to upper 60s - first time we’ve had a morning low in the sixties since June 3rd. It’s a little crazy that these are stats from the end of September. I don’t feel like we had a September this year - I feel like it was an extra 30 days for August. Yet the calendar says we are only a few days away from October. Six days with Air Quality Alert and zero Heat Advisory Alerts finally. Only four days was the Heat Index at/above 100 degrees. Still under a Moderate Fire Danger risk as the drought progresses - Burn Ban still in effect. D1 Drought Status has not changed but my opinion differs - I feel I am beyond Moderate right now. TX Power Grid remains operating under Normal conditions - seems like we didn’t have any close calls this Summer. I’m not aware of any times they asked us to conserve our electric usage. Plants are about the same - native plant beds still blooming and only watering every two weeks. Container pots getting watered once a week and still looking great. Prairie restoration area that has gotten no supplemental watering is all brown and dried. Bare ground in the yard (no watering) is becoming more prominent as are the giant cracks. Area lakes and ponds are visibly lower. I’ve only seen two hummingbirds in the last five days. Saw a flock of geese flying over yesterday - headed south. Bumblebees and Dragonflies still busy but not seeing a lot of other activity. Still awaiting the Monarchs - Milkweed is ready. The State Fair of Texas opened on Friday so Dallas tourism will pick up for the next several weeks. Story for the week - change is in the air but still dealing with the damage that’s been done. Finally a break in the temps but that’s only half the equation - very hopeful that Hurricane Polo helps us out this coming week. P.S. We are only days away from a new water year.  View

I've been teetering on the edge of mildy dry and near normal for several weeks. What pushed me into the mildly dry camp is a recent hike where several small streams had either minimal or no water. However, the local small river still seems to have a normal water level, and you wouldn't know it was dry to look at conditions in my yard and forest. Still, rainfall has been minimal. As I write this late Sunday, light rain has been falling intermittently today (and continues), but in the past 8 days it still amounts only to 0.26". Not great, on top of a series of not-great weeks.  View

Even though "mildly dry" is selected, it is close to the moderate level. Leaves in trees are browning and falling a bit faster. The fall colors are appearing slower than usual. Is it because there was too much sun in the past 2 weeks? Rivers are lower than usual. Is it El Nino starting its effect here in the province of Québec? With less hurricane activity in the Atlantic, there is less precipitation here. FRANÇAIS : Des conditions de sécheresse s'installent dans mon secteur. Les feuilles brunissent et tombent vite. Est-ce dû à toutes ces journées ensoleillées depuis 2 semaines? Les rivières sont basses pour cette période de l'année. Est-ce El Nino qui s'installe au Québec ? Avec peu d'activités d'ouragans en Atlantique cette année, cela amène peu de précipitations ici.  View
