| Total August precipitation total 5.17 inches. That is slightly above NOAA and Prism normals. No drought continues. Pollen counts are still on the increase, so allergy sufferers continue to be aware of that. Still monitoring the UVI and wearing the sunscreen. Mowing was not required this week. The birds continued to leave branch and leaf messes all along the yard. Huge Daddy Long Leg Spider on my front door. It was the size of a baseball. Slight increase in moths, gnats, and other bugs. Looking towards this week, focus is the Heat Increase. Stay cool, hydrated, and use sunscreen. Happy First Day of Meteorological Fall everyone!

| So far this summer, our annual monsoon has been a no-show at my location. My August rainfall total was only .10". Making the second driest August for my station since 2007...only 2011 was drier with .06".
My year-to-date rainfall total stands at 8.24" compared to my Prism average of 7.95". In June, I recorded 3.63"; in July, 2.20". A quick greenup of the countryside in July has since ended. Most areas around me in SE NM are below average rainfall so far this year. My location is one of the wetter spots in the area outside of the mountains.
So far this year, I've recorded 61 days with high temps of 100 or greater.
Out of the last ten years, only 2017 saw above-average precipitation (Prism records) with 14.92".
The combined above-average relentless summer heat of the past couple of years has taken its toll on local vegetation and rangeland livestock and animals. |

| 0.0” of rain last week. 2.40” of Evapotranspiration. All seven days at or above 100 degrees F for afternoon highs, morning lows in the 70s and 80s. Hottest day of the year at this location occurred during the week at 107 degrees. Extreme Heat Warning for 2 days, Heat Advisory for 2 days, and Air Quality Alert for half the week. D1 Drought Status. Remain under Burn Ban, no fires in my immediate area. Texas Power Grid running under Normal Conditions. We’ve only had 0.23” of rain in the last 45 days with 30 of those days at, but mostly above, one hundred degrees. The last 20 days in a row has been the longest one hundred degree streak for this Summer at this station. Supplemental watering schedule remains unchanged from previous weeks. Plants and beds are doing fine with the current watering schedule but a few plants are burnt from the sun. There is pretty much nothing green left in the yard and prairie restoration area (do not get supplemental watering). Birds are still appreciative of me keeping the baths and fountains filled. Migration has started so surely this is a sign that Summer is coming to an end. Bumblebees still very active - I’m happy I have flowers they enjoy! August Summary: 0.23” of rain for the month. 10.11” of Evapotranspiration for the month. Story for the week - hot and dry with a drop of pessimism. The heat and lack of rain is starting to wear on me mentally as well as physically. |
