They seem to prefer our sumac (which we water occasionally) to our grass for grazing. More Red Flag days than not. A small wildfire (cause not known at this time) broke out about five miles southwest of here (Lawhead Fire). It was quickly controlled. Smoke in the area likely from the Iron fire in Utah. |

Sunny areas of yards and gardens need watering each day. Breezy to gusty winds. Daytime temps. ranging from 80's to upper 90's. Beginning to leave out flat containers with rocks and water for wildlife water sources---rocks are so flying insects (bees, wasps, butterflies...) can land a drink. Some containers in the gardens are being heavily used by birds. Hummingbirds are rapidly emptying sugar water feeders. Grass and foothills fires are popping up, usually man-caused, that are being aggressively attacked by fire fighters. It's the first day of summer and already hot and dry with active wildland fire conditions. |

All types of crops are growing well, although some small grains have started to lodge after recent heavy rains accompanied by high winds.
It hasn't been too hot, which is delightful, so things are not drying out; even our waste treatment mound (normally the brownest grass on the place) is looking reasonably good.

Then Saturday morning the sky unleashed buckets of rain. Automated gauges in the area recorded from 3 inches to over 9.6 inches at one location in just 24 hours from Friday evening into Saturday afternoon. Needless to say, this was too much too fast and many of our acres were and still are flooded though the water did drain down considerably today (Sunday June 21, 2026). Given the overabundance of rainfall as of late I changed the scale by two categories. We may lose a few acres of beans to flood water before this all drains away. |

In July we have had 4.54 inches and the year to date is 19.91 inches of rain only. Between March 1 and now we are more than 4 inches above the 30 year average. There has been some standing water in some fields for most of the last week continuously. We have toadstools coming up in places in our yard. There has been 2 days in the last week where we received more than 0.95 inch in one day. There have been occaisonal nights of mostly clear skies this spring, but not many. And this spring continues to bring windy days, with some days having very windy conditions more than usual. The field crops have been springing up out of the ground pretty quickly after planting and I am not sure if all the fields got planted, since the first week of June was the driest period and it may not have been long enough for some farmers to finish planting. The birds have been plentiful and pretty active in my yard, with a species or two that I haven't identified showing up. The small animals have been active. |

| 1.25” rain this past week (4.75” NOAA normal), so still calling it Moderately Dry due to the recent past’s deficit. SC Forestry app shows 16 wildfires across S.C. Even after our 1.25” rain this week almost all local roadside ditches are again dry or nearly so. Local roadside swamps are either dry again or nearly so. Local non-irrigated lawns did respond positively to the rain, but still haven’t fully recovered. Local fields/pastures have responded well to the recent rain, but some portions still show stunted growth. Some local retention ponds are already dry again. During last Saturday’s Poinsett State Park hike the mosquitos were swarming, even after applying bug spray (same at home). The park’s main spillway was running well again, but this was the morning after a decent rain. Will post an update after a couple days if the flow significantly decreases again. The park’s smaller tributaries have already ran dry. Shank’s Creek (the main stream through the park that feeds the park lake) is up about 3-4” from last week, but this was after a heavy rain the night before. Hart Creek (that feeds Shank’s Creek) appears to have been up a bit, but is now almost back down to the previous week’s level. Park leaf litter is wet underneath, but the underlying soil is only damp, so it appears that the ground is quickly absorbing the water. Quite a few birds, squirrels and lizards (anoles and skinks) active in the park and at home. Interesting to pick a condition this week, as the rain was up quite a bit from past weeks, but seems to be be absorbed very quickly. From Data Explorer: This past week total was 1.25” vs 4.75” NOAA normal. The monthly total was 1.80” (-1.68”/52% NOAA normal). Yearly total: 12.71” (-8.0”/61% NOAA normal). Last 30 days: 6.0” (NOAA normal: 8.31”). Last 90 days: 6.73” (NOAA normal: 15.01”). |

Weather Observations: There was some wind this week, with a mixture of sun & overcast. Some mornings have been foggy.
Drought Monitoring Assessments: The most recent (June 18) drought assessment from the province has Northern Vancouver Island at D3, while the Central Coast is D1. The Keogh, & Zaballos Rivers are reported to have “marginal” stream flow with potential for “significant or irreversible harm” to the ecosystem. The Tsitika River is rated as “suboptimal” for flow volume (with potential for “significant or irreversible harm” to the ecosystem). The Klakish River is showing a record low water level. San Josef River is below normal. The Wakeman is above normal water level. The Kingcome River is reading normal flow. The most recent AgCan drought map (May 31, 2026) shows Northern Vancouver Island as D0.
