| Seems safe to say that this area has exited its drought condition, at least for the time being. Over the week we received 3.99" of precip with most of that falling Thursday during a round of hurricane like thunderstorms. Our NWS predicted severe weather in the region and they did not disappoint. Area waterways are bank full and flowing fast while the soil is moderately wet since receiving 6.18" of precip since June 4. But with low humidity yesterday and strong sunshine along with moderate winds, the surface has begun drying surprisingly fast. Needless to say, trees are looking lush and healthy and area lawns are recovering nicely from the bone dry conditions earlier. Been seeing numerous birds around, definitely more than last year at this time, at least it appears that way. The four legged critters have been pretty quiet lately but the six legged ones are going strong. Potato beetles have been on the march and serious measures are being taken as they continue to multiply. Picking them by hand has become totally insufficient. I'm beginning to think that planting potatoes this year was a bad idea. Anyhow, I'm trying out a new, at least to me, organic spore/bacteria product and hope that it does the trick. Those buggers seem to enjoy the pyrethrum I was using, so hopefully this new product works. Maybe it'll give them a case of dysentery that they'll never forget. |

People are urged to limit shower duration, washing only as needed and no driveway car washing. One drinking water reservoir in Durham is nearly dry and other water use restrictions are pending in our region. We have had very hot temperatures, yesterday's high was 104 F. at 30% humidity. More heat is coming this week. The Haw River is flowing but at the lowest level this observer has seen in nearly 9 years. Farmers have expressed worry about crop failures. The ground and forest duff is very dry. People are out walking but usually in the morning only. We are now at less than 1/2 the "30-year average" for rain in our area. |

| With only 0.27” of rain earlier this week, conditions are now moderately dry. The Pascoag Reservoir has dropped an inch to 8’7” and has yet to overflow the spillway. I haven’t seen water this low in June in the 25+ years I’ve been on the lake. Slightly low water hasn’t stopped water activity as fishing, tubing and wake boarding has been popular this week. The lawn is completely dormant in the front yard (sunniest spot) and has slowed down considerably in the back. Local hiking trails are also very dry for June and are more like what you’d see in August. Streams are no longer flowing. Birds like Orioles, crows, wax wings and warblers continue to be active and we’ve been seeing the great blue heron and bald eagle occasionally. All of the late spring flowers like rhododendrons and irises have faded with the heat and day lily buds starting to show. Deer are active as well and mowed down our Hostas over the last couple of weeks. George Washington state park increased the fire danger to Medium and the nearby Pachaug Forest has increased theirs to High. |

| little rain this week, but earlier few weeks have pushed us into the normal range for the year. More expected over next few days. Meanwhile everything is growing vigorously, and roadsides are blooming freely and beautifully. Gardening is productive right now with tomatoes abundant. Fire danger low, as humidity has remained uncomfortably high! And lakes are as full as they have been for several years at this time. (recall this is site-specific: several areas, even in the county, have gotten triple our rainfall just this month!) |

| For week of 07-13 Jun:(0.5+ 5.2+ 0+ 0+ 0+ 0+ 0)= 5.7mm, Mildly Dry. High's: +15C to +25C Hx +31C; Low's: +13C to +5C; Wind: 2 windy days, gusts to 50km/hr, other days mostly calm; Dew: 1 light dew. This week we went from a few cool days to very warm and dry, but with high Humidex (Hx). The grass is growing rapidly. Flowers are in bloom, tree blossoms are profuse, and pollinators are appearing. I even had a beautiful spider's web on my gauge funnel protective toothpick turret. Keeps away the bird droppings, but sure attracts the bugs (ants, tiny beetles, gnats). Its finally warm enough to get to work on filling our Veg Trugs. A delay is better than none at all. Veg gardening is becoming a necessity in light of grocery costs. Beyond our back yard, tourism is in full swing. Peggy's Cove Rd full of RV's. Sailing season launching. Looks to be a busy summer. We just need regular rains to maintain our well levels. NS Burn Ban was 98% Yellow yesterday. Red for Shelbourne, South Shore. |
