| 0.03 inches of rain all last week. Even with daily waterings, everything in the garden is turning brown. Only one tomato plant is still producing; the rest put out one set of fruit and then died back. Tomatillos are not filling their paper shells. Grapes are turning into raisins while still on the vine. Eggplant is about the only garden plant doing well. In the woods, Mayapples are nearly done, autumn olive is just beginning,spicebush fruit is mostly green. Pokeweed is going from flower to fruit as usual. Indian pipe stands and poison ivy are thriving in the dry weather. Local birds are loving all the seeds in the gardens, though. I counted six male goldfinches yesterday - a record for my yard. |

| Conditions here are moderately dry. The July rainfall across the State has reduced "drought level" from severe to moderate for the time being. Raleigh has ended "stage 1" water restrictions. We in Chatham County are still under "stage 2" water use restrictions. Fire danger has reduced however caution is still recommended. Lawns and golf courses are green and people are out. Humidity is still high. One "long range" forecast speculates the rest of August to be drier that usual. However the "El Niño" forecast predicts higher than usual September and October precipitation for the SE USA. We are roughly 14 inches behind the 30-year NOAA water year average. |

| With another 1.34” of rain this week after over 7 inches in July has left conditions mildly wet for the first week of August. The Pascoag Reservoir is up to 9’3” and overflowing the spillway and easily the highest it’s been all summer. The lawn is growing quickly and needs mowing more than once per week when it would normally be mostly dormant this time of year. Hummingbirds, bluebirds, catbirds, swallows and woodpeckers are very active in the area. Hiking trails at Sprague Farm and George Washington campground are moist for August with streams flowing strongly and mushrooms popping up like crazy. Water sports on the lake continue at a high rate as well. Fire danger is posted as Low at George Washington campground. |

| It's now been three hot weeks since any measurable rainfall, and we are starting to feel it! Grasses are turning along roadsides and fire danger is rising (though I have not heard any burn bans locally.) With all local lakes at conservation level, water supply is great for mid-August. This is now a typical Texas August -- and all are waiting for cooler weather! Time to get ready for fall gardens! |

| For week of 02 - 08 Aug: (1.0+ 14.0+ 0+ 0+ 0+ 0)= 15.0mm, Moderately Dry (with Heat Warnings). High's: +28C to +34C Hx +41C; Low's: +27C to 15C; Wind: All calm except for gusts during overnight rain; Dew: 1med, 1 slight. This past week has been brutal for heat and humidex. We've had 4 consecutive days of +30C Plus temps along with Hx. Heat Warnings issued on Tues, 4 Aug, and still continue. Any benefit the 14.0mm of rain brought in the overnight was nullified with the oppressive heat. Its been challenging to be outdoors. Have not mowed the lawn. Deer staying in the woods. But, on the human side, life continues. Tourism going strong. Overhead work on Peggy's Cove Rd on-going. Camp sites are full, but have burn restrictions. Heat Warning Advisories on local radio. Simply put, its been very hot and very humid. We need rain, and a break from the heat. |
