| A Roller Coaster week with temperatures and humidity. Started out warm and humid, then mid week a brief but very welcome break from it and then a brief short of rain at weeks end and then a long come the jump in humidity and temperatures. The little amounts of rain are not adding up to much of any benefit. Today is going to likely be the warmest with highest heat index we have had so far this summer. |

| The heavy rain this past week, which totaled 4.60 inches, has brought conditions close to normal. The month to date rain total is now 5.82 inches, and more rain is possible over the next few days. With the 4.81 inches during June, the total for the summer so far is 10.63 inches, which is almost the average for the entire summer. The total for the year so far is now 23.14 inches, which is getting close to the average, and wipes out the deficit that was observed during the spring. |

| We have had hot days and no real rain. The last round of thunder missed us to the north, but thankfully fell on the BWCAW fires. Lake levels have dropped another several inches, lawns are brown and dormant to dying. Native flowers are pretty sparse and gardens need watering almost daily in the heat. Some bushes were wilting. We have does and fawns around our yard, drinking 5+ gallons of water a day that we leave out. Beavers are leaving dry ponds and heading for lakes, searching for available territory. Fire danger is a concern, mostly kept down by high humidity. Temps in mid-high 90s curtailing outdoor recreation |

| Tropical Storm Bertha had little impact here with only a slight increase in clouds and 0.12'' of rain. This brings us over the 30 inch mark for 2026. Not much change since last report. Green grass, water in creeks (stagnant in wet-weather creeks), full lakes, no burn bans. Continual sunshine and seasonable heat (highs between 96° and 105°), combined with a bit more humidity than normal for July, are making heat illness a real danger. Outdoor activities are best done before 10 AM to avoid both the sun and heat intensity. |

| This week one rain of 0.59" brings the monthly total to 2.22 inches. That puts us just a little drier than last week, about 1.3" below the normal. My grass is still green but I didn't mow the past week. Put some water on the garden yesterday after noticing a couple cucumbers were skinnier in the middle than the ends. Kind of offsetting the less rain this month has been the cooler, drier temps. Some of the best July weather in a while. It has been cool enough for river fog to form many mornings. All of a sudden seeing several hummingbirds at a time. One must of had a successful nest full of young. |
