| After a wet week (6/7-6/14) we had a drying out week with some nice rainfall one day. NOW as I write this it has just begun to rain and this one is predicted to be quite the producer of heavy rains with high amounts. Things are growing well, fields are looking good other than areas where run off has occurred. Pretty good amount of erosion has occurred and will continue with rains like these. |

| Time to switch to "moderately dry." Only 0.07" in the preceding week – and that coupled with low humidity, high winds and near-solstice sun angles. MTD catch is only .52” against a PRISM average of 3.64”. Not tracking evapotranspiration at this station but would bet it’s significant. Grasses are starting to brown out in some locations, some footpaths are downright dusty, and the town put watering restrictions in place this week. Other than grasses I haven’t seen significant signs of stress in native plants – yet – and the (drip-irrigated) veggie garden is loving the warmth and sun. Wildlife activity is normal (less osprey action than there was about three weeks ago); pond level is down an inch or two. Fingers crossed Monday-Tuesday event significantly outperforms forecast. |

| My station received 0.39 precipitation for the week, which helped stop the drive towards moderately dry conditions. However, there were higher precipitations nearby, as I received only the edges of some great thunderstorms activity. I raced on the Connecticut River [2 miles from my station] yesterday, and the river was up and muddy, so there was healthy runoff north of Springfield, MA. Our temperatures also moderate back to pleasant from sweltering of the previous week, which helped stop the wilting of the plants. Outdoor plants still needed some h2o assistance. |

| Although we’re now in a drying trend, conditions are mildly wet, thanks to a wet week, cooler temperatures, and high humidities. Surface soils are still moist and the lawns are a deep green. The woods still have some swamps where swamps rarely exist, low crop fields retain some standing water, and Hess Lake still retains an unusually high water level. The gauge catch caught 1.19 inches of rain this week, most of which occurred in three events. The most dramatic was Tuesday evening when an unscheduled but brief severe thunderstorm rolled through bringing high winds, 0.40 inches of rain, and half-inch hail. There was tornado activity and power outages in the region. In between rain event normal summer outdoor activities are occurring in both recreation and agriculture. |

| Moderately dry – .40 of rain this week. Dry conditions persisted since last significant rain on 5/26. Before that last significant rain was 5/10.
Low seasonable temperatures this week. Gardens require watering. Prior hot conditions and dry weather caused delayed bean growth. Lawns dry with bi-weekly mowings because areas in tree driplines and shadows still green. Vegetable farmers tilling, planting and harvesting. Crop corn growing well. Great weather for farmers to make hay. Mill Road Pond algae in abundance and early. Fire retention pond near normal.
NYC Reservoirs near normal at 93.9% of capacity compared to normal of 98.4%. Drier conditions reflected in lowered inventory of water. Consumption is seasonable at 1.04 billion gallons for the week.

| Two good rains this past week bringing 1.53" total. At the 2/3 mark, this month stands at 2.04", compared to the normal at this point of 3.16". Everything is green and growing with little watering of the garden but over an inch below the monthly average. Much of the past week was also some of the best weather you could ask for with warm days and cool, low humidity nights for sleeping. I would like to order 3 months more of that please. This week I was "explored" on Flickr with a spider photo, found a family of 8 skunks living 30 feet behind the house in a woodchuck hole and have seen a woodchuck and rabbit on the lawn. So far the garden is ok. Birdbath is busy. The skunks and I are getting along fine. |
