 No rain has resulted in a return of drought conditions, but I will note that some areas have received but my station hasn’t. Dust activity and slightly fire risk are the main problems. Surprisingly, plants are still green and even growing in some places, most likely driven by the cooler temperatures decreasing evapotranspiration rates.  View

 A system moving in from the west and tropical moisture moving north, along with monsoon moisture already in place, produced a very wet week with 2.75 inches falling to end the monsoon season. The monsoon season (6/15-9/30) had at least a little above normal rainfall every month but June with September being the wettest at 4.75 inches. The monsoon ended with a total of 12.08 inches which is 4.47 inches above normal. With this wet weather, I decided to move the Condition Scale Bar to "Near Normal". High temperatures started in the mid 70's but dropped in the 60's and then 50's with the wet weather. Highs then returned to the 70's. The high of the week was 77° on Saturday. Lows were in the 40's and 50's but cooled more after the rain and a low of 39° on Saturday. The first 30 degree temperature since May 31st. It was breezy in the afternoons to end the week. A lot of wildflowers are blooming in the open areas and grasses are starting to brown. Looking more like Fall with leaves continuing to change colors. Saw Scrub Jays and a skunk but no other wildlife seen.  View

 Another dry week, with 0.25" evapotranspiration, average high 70.5f, low 50.7f. Ruth Lake Reservoir on 10/2 at 75%. No change in Drought Map. Local rivers holding steady but warming some with heat wave inland. With the possibility of heavy rains this fall and winter due to the predicted El Niño, the Humboldt County Office of Emergency Services is planning a series of public meetings about the impacts it could have. Special areas of concern involve the low-lying areas that are affected by the regular king tides. The county Public Works department is also working on road issues that could come from river flooding as well as the tides.  View

 September ended up with under an inch of rain, which is pretty normal for us here on the coast. With the new rain year underway there is no rain forecast for the next week. We had mild temperatures and a bit of fog this week. Some of the spring blooming trees and shrubs have now dropped all of their leaves for the winter and the annuals in the garden are starting to fade. Ocean conditions were favorable for fishing and water sports for most of the week. Lots of visitors in the area beating the heat inland.  View

 Since last reported on 09/13/2026, recorded a total of 0.93" of gauge catch. This was from a Multi-Day Gauge Catch total from 09/19/2026 through 10/01/2026. Topsoil sample taken this morning shows dry soil at the surface, lightly moist soil just below the surface to 1.0", then moderately moist soil below the 1.0" level. This shows a great recovery from last report of Severely Dry. We had a couple of mornings this past week with dense fog and drizzle making everything moist. However, no measurable gauge catch from these events. Observed a couple of coyotes yesterday morning prowling around neighbors back yards. Deciduous trees have begun their leaf color change. Magpies and Finches are the most observed bird since returning home. Some of the grasses turned green from the precipitation received but it won't get tall enough for mowing. Will use the weed eater to cut down grass in the side ditch and that will do it for mowing this season. Temperatures continue to cool with chilly mornings in the 40's. Also, with the additional precipitation, I have paused providing supplemental water for the trees. I haven't heard of any wildfire issues since returning home. This last storm provided a significant amount of snowpack to Pikes Peak and surrounding mountains. Local news reported a cold-weather rescue on the Peak this past week. With the significant precipitation during by absence, I am revising the Condition Scale from Severely Dry to Mildly Dry.  View

 General: I'm calling us near-normal on precipitation, based on our September, 2026 totals. We received 1.14" and expected 1.388" (SD = .92) (6 year average). It's a little low, but easily within one standard deviation. Weather is still warm, of course. We have had a couple of light frosts, but nothing significant yet. Our water-year total is 16.89" (6 year average = 19.24", sd = 19.24") and our water year snow total is 45.9" (6 year average, 107.88", SD = 39.9"). Agriculture: Our neighbors are doing quite a bit of planting right now. Our guess is winter wheat, likely taking advantage of the changing nature of precipitation here. Energy: Still high production/use ratio. We generated 67.33 kWHR yesterday and only used 12.09 kWHR, even with some pretty intense baking in an electric oven. Fire: It feels like the risk is low, but it looked smoky off in the snake river valley yesterday as we went into town. Plants/wildlife: Fall colors are starting to fade. We have some winter birds now. We have chipmunks, which we haven't had in quite a few years. We have a plethora of box elder bugs, which is a cyclic phenomenon. water: Again, we seem to be approaching monthly normalcy, although I continue to be aware of the annual shortage. Every water year is a new water year (see above)!  View

 Last week was a very wet week across this area. With the remnants of Hurricane Polo moving through, lots of heavy rain fell on already saturated soil, leaving flooded fields and creeks. Roadside ditches still remain filled with standing water. What little harvest that had started has completely stopped as farmers wait for the saturated ground to dry out. The Green and Rock Rivers remain very high with a slight rise of the Mississippi. This station received 2.71" of rain during the 44-hour period the rain moved through. Some nearby areas received much more. Things should dry out this week as the forecast is for sunny conditions with highs in the low to mid 70's with no rain. Hummingbirds have migrated as I have seen no action at the feeders for a week.  View

 End of Water Year 2025-2026: My station: 44.89 inches of precip. NOAA 30-year norm: 37.19 inches + 7.70 inches, 121% of NOAA norm. The summer alternated periods of ample/heavy rainfall and drought, the latter requiring sometimes daily watering of raised beds and planters. 2.22 inches of rain fell this week that caused water to pond in low areas of fields and roadside ditches. Grass remains a lush green, and annuals are still blooming, though fewer and smaller blooms - have not needed water yet. Just a few trees beginning to show small areas of color. Fewer hummingbirds at the feeders. .  View

 Despite 0.41 inches of rain a few days ago, conditions have not changed. Grass in most places is browned and crunchy; dust rises readily from just walking through dirt. The vegetation will support combustion and can easily be lit with just a plastic bottle placed just right. Most of the Corn Crops have been harvested; all but the last planted Bean Crops have been harvested. The Lakes and Ponds are still 18 to 24 inches below normal levels. You can cross the creeks and streams without getting too wet, and the Bogs on US40 and US 50 are both dry. The Hackberry Trees have lost so many dry leaves that the grass surrounding them is totally hidden from view.  View

 A beautiful past couple of days as the system producing widespread rainfall exited the region. Two point eight inches fell here that helped push September's total to 14.12 inches, second greatest monthly rainfall since August 2007.

0.71” rain late this week. Creeks a trickle, ponds still low. Dry conditions earlier made walking across the grass like walking on a coarse scrub brush. Friday's rain soaked in fast; by Saturday afternoon we could hardly tell it had rained. Saw one more bean field coming down, only one corn field still standing. Lots of porch-sitting this week. Odd – pears and apple tree put out a few blooms. The weather must've tricked them. Color on the maples advancing quickly, sumacs turning red. Nuts thumping down from the walnuts. No deer or turkeys, but plenty of squirrels and pileated woodpeckers. A bald eagle visited a walnut tree in our front yard (photo attd). A few hummingbirds still visiting.  View

 7.56” in the preceding week, bringing the ‘25-‘26 Water Year to a close on a juicy note. This station received a total for the WY of 63.23”, which is 13.73” above PRISM average (representing 127.7% of average). Quite the contrast to ’24-’25, in which we had a deficit to average of 12.75” for the WY and was only 74% of normal. Mother Nature loves her averages! We’re now into what many locals consider the best time of year for the Cape – cool nights, warm days, color changes, quieter roadways. Lawns are lush; ornamental and veggie gardens are waving the seasonal white flag, fall flowers and leaf color changes abound. Pond level remains slightly above normal due to the Nor’easter – although it wouldn’t surprise if they added another control board to the outflow sluice in anticipation of the cranberry harvest. Wildlife activity appears normal. Shouldn’t be too much longer before the ducks begin their return and the swans get busy chasing transient Canada geese out of the neighborhood.  View

 I missed last Sunday's report but can tell you that it was pouring rain. We received about 5.5" of rain over 3 days. That was good as it allowed the soil to absorb it rather than have it run off. The result was no water in my basement sump and green lawns outside. Streams are running above normal as the water drains off. Wildlife is still in transition from summer to winter. Those that sleep winter away are still mostly active as they prepare. Migrating birds have left but the incoming winter birds haven't quite arrived yet.  View

 This week began with the first nor'easter of the season. We received 6.73" over several days. The storm did much to reduce drought conditions throughout the state. I think the central Mass area has been designated normal again. The water table got high enough to bring a little water into the cellar through the sump hole - it was gone a few days later. Other than small twigs and leaves left behind the trees survived the strong steady winds well enough. (The entire storm brought a total 6.98” - not reported that way because it would change the Sunday through Saturday collection period.) Warnings are up that the first frost of the season may affect some areas this week. It's time to bring in the last of the house plants. My heirloom tomato plants still have good sized tomatoes that have not ripened yet (and lots of small ones). I'll cover them but I may have to hope they fully ripen on the windowsills. Fall foliage reports are up but this area is nowhere near peak colors yet. Dogwoods and swamp maples are showing colors, and what few sugar maples still exist are starting to show their brilliant reds. It will likely be a couple more weeks before we reach the peak of the season. The last flowers in my pollenator garden are nearing the end and bumblebees and a few others continue to gather up every bit of pollen they can but the level of activity lessens a little more every week now. Apple and pumpkin displays are showing up at most farm stores now - tis the season. And that includes many fine days of cooler temps, clean crisp air and tourists out "leaf-peeping". A wonderful time of year!  View

 For the week ending 10/4/2026, conditions were NEAR NORMAL. The 7-day cumulative precipitation total of 1.02 inches was 31% above the 13-year (2009-2022) average of 0.78 inches and in the “near normal” range; the 30-day total of 4.89 inches was 43% above the expected 13-year average of 3.42 inches and in the “mildly wet” range; and the 90-day total of 9.99 inches was 3% below the expected 13-year average of 10.25 inches and in the “near normal” range. The 7-day water balance was +0.58 inches (1.02 inches of rain minus 0.44 inches of evapotranspiration). There were 3 days of measurable precipitation, with a maximum of 0.68 inches on the 2nd. Temps ranged from 77 F (on the 1st) to 39 F (on the 3rd), with average Hi/Lo temps of 69/52 F (-7/+3 relative to last week). Precipitation Trends—September to End: 3.92 inches (up 0.50 inches, 115% of PRISM Normal); Year to Date (2026): 39.52 inches (up 8.05 inches, 126% of PRISM Normal). Water Year to End (2025-2026): 50.45 inches (up 9.82%, 124% of PRISM Normal). A change is decidedly in the air, with cooler temperatures and the first hints of muted fall colors, especially with maples. The cottonwoods in the backyard are dropping leaves with increasing frequency. The yard still requires weekly mowing.  View
