| Going with "Mildly dry" only bc we are not yet out of the woods, but SO SO CLOSE to being back into the "Normal" areas on the Climatology dials after getting 1.77" of rain over 3 days, Sept. 1-4. Before the rain we were YTD -13.8 (67%), and WYTD -14.6 (79%); after event YTD was still below at 72% (-11.75") , but WYTD sneaked over into Near Normal at 82% (tho' still -12.6)
Before the rain our groundwater dip stick was down another 3.5 " from ; after the event, it was back up by 18.5", to just 5" below what it was the end of June . Nice little recharge, but not yet back to end-of-June base level ("0")
Ground surfaces, forest logs etc. are still wet, soil holding it well, very little run-off bc it was a nice, slow rain. HOWEVER, Burn bans still in officially in effect, with all outdoor burning still suspended. :(
Garden has shifted into monster overdrive: zukes, squashes, beans, peas, cabbages, beets; tomatoes finally decided it was summer. Have started 2nd plantings. Wild blackberries & huckleberries peaking. |

Checking topsoil today was difficult as my garden shovel could only penetrate about one inch down from the surface. What little soil I got was dry and dusty. Mowed the yard one last time around the perimeter of the house. It was mostly for knocking down the weeds as the grass is almost non-existent.

A smoke detector mounted in a hall near water heater and washing machine failed routine test during morning fog last week and I assumed it was due to alkaline battery discharge as usual, but it turned out to be equipment failure requiring replacement two years before the anticipated service life.

| Mon 8/24 – Sun 9/6/26 rural Central Oregon High Desert – severely dry]
Total precip this period started with a trace on Wed 9/2 and totaled 1.21”, by midnight late
Sun 9/6. The episodes of rain were enough to form a few puddles that lasted several hours and the ground (developed and undeveloped) remains damp. Mon 8/24, my cold tap water (from the well) ran cloudy, then cleared after about a gallon. (This could be for any number of “normal” harmless reasons, but I will be alert for other tell-tale signs of problems starting with well water availability and safety).
This period started with day time high temps in the mid-80’s to 91°F, them cooled over 2 days (with the arrival of the cooler/wet system) from 87 to 57° – and remained unseasonably low for the rest of the week. The average daytime high this period dropped to 75°F (12° less than the previous 2-week period) and the average morning low was 30°F and ranged from 18 - 44°F. Air conditioning abruptly became unnecessary – even undesirable! – Wed 9/2, and heaters had to be turned on the next day for the first time since mid-June.
While travelling in nearby areas (Sunriver, Bend, Prineville) areas of smoke and haze remained visible. I smelled smoke during a brief haze event at this site the last time (I hope!) on Mon 8/24. According to Central Oregon Fire Info, effective Sat 9/5, fire officials reduced Public Use Fire Restrictions from stage 2 to stage 1 on most central Oregon area BLM, National Forest and National Grasslands (except national Forest Wilderness Areas), due to the recent rains and cooler temps.

Not seeing a lot of other wildlife activity as I haven’t been outside as much with the heat. Butterflies not as numerous this year and I’m not sure why - hoping to start seeing the Monarchs soon. (Many birds are migrating now - please turn off unnecessary lights at night.) Driving around my area this weekend observed how dry it is everywhere - neighbor’s ponds are noticeably lower as compared to the beginning of Summer. Leaves are falling off the trees making it look like Fall but it’s due to lack of rain. Current stats: 0.59” of rain in the last 51 days. 15.71” of Evapotranspiration during those 51 days. 32 of those days temps were 100 degrees plus. 22 days in a row was the longest streak, during that time, of one hundred degree days. Submitting photos of ground crack for comparison to the August photos that were sent - you can see how much it’s grown. This crack is representative of other cracks in the yard - ankle twisters.
