| A week with only 0.20" of precipitation and average high 57f, low 43.8F. November rainfall was 7.25", 117%, while the water year is now at 11.56", 126% of normal. Ruth Lake is up to 83% as of 11/24. The drought map now shows only Orange, San Diego, the western parts of Riverside and Imperial counties in drought, along with a strip along the eastern borders of Inyo, San Bernardino and Riverside. The areas covered are at the two lowest levels of drought. With the recent lack of much rainfall, the Mad and Eel Rivers have dropped, while the temperatures of the Trinity and Klamath Rivers have also dropped to the 45-47 degree range. Ocean temperatures remain the same. The Shasta-Trinity NF will conduct some prescribed burns this week, now that conditions have turned more favorable for those kinds of activities.

| It's the end of November and at this point we've had no significant rain for 10 days. The total rain for the season is about half of what it was at this time last year. No rain is good for the local Festival of Lights, but not a good for the ground water. It's not that unusual for us to have the bulk of the seasonal rain in January and February, so we'll see. The local farmers' markets are now closed and the only produce being grown here on the coast is in hot houses. The landscape is fully green again and the seasonal mosses are everywhere. We had a full array of wildlife in our gardens this week: a doe, a skunk, three foxes, two raccoons and the local chipmunks and squirrels. Lots of hummingbirds at our fountains, too. The area was pretty packed with tourists and family visitors for the Thanksgiving weekend. |

| General: We're not receiving the precipitation we have over the past 4 years. Our total to date for November is .78", and we expect 1.21" (sd = 1.44). It's an admittedly small sample (4 years), but we had no snow this month, but 15.5" in 2024 by this time. This does make me nervous.
Agriculture: The winter wheat is coming up, though I wonder if it's getting sufficient moisture. It's a little less robust than I remember last year.
Energy: We're into the period when we use more than we produce, even when the sky is pretty clear. Yesterday we used 62.86 kWHR and produced 41.84 kWHR. Part of our higher use is that our heat pumps are out of service and we had to use supplemental heat.
Fire: Low danger right now.
Plants/wildlife: We are still seeing deer in the area, and saw a pair of ducks on the Buckskin pond this week (freeze-thaw there).
Water: Again, a little nervous. We've had 5.09" of moisture this water year, and we typically (4 year average) have 10.786"). |

| The USDA in late November, 2025 declared Maine's ongoing drought as a natural disaster. The declaration will help farmers in all 16 Maine counties with USDA loan eligibility and other sources of financial assistance at federal and state level. Farmers have suffered yield drops in crops such as blueberries, apples, potatoes, and in maple syrup. Yields have been reduced by 50-75% this past harvest season. Damage may persist into 2026 with berry and fruit crops since the current drought has affected the setting of buds for next year's crops. On a personal level, aside from paying more for the annual produce one becomes used to in Maine, I thankfully have not been affected to any great degree by the on-going drought. My well is holding up very well. The fields are dry, but there has been enough precipitation to keep fire danger down to a minimum this fall. But the amount of moisture received through the autumn has not been anywhere near what is needed to replenish soil moisture and water tables throughout Maine. |
