| Earlier this week a stationary storm dropped 0.7 inches of rain, mostly in a 20 minute period. This rain has helped soil moisture. However, evaporation rates are high and the topsoil moisture has decreased to 35%, which is relatively normal for this time of year (while still being dry). Dust activity has increased, but plants remain healthy, streams/lakes have normal to slightly high levels, and fire risk is generally low. |

| The week started off hot with highs in the upper 80's and low 90's with a little monsoon moisture midweek. The high of the week was 92° on Tuesday. Moisture started moving in on Monday and lasted until Friday. Thunderstorms nearby on Wednesday and Thursday but only a trace of rain on Wednesday which was the total for the week. Lows ranged from 47° last Sunday to 63° on a couple of days. It was breezy at times during the week but nothing too strong until Friday when the winds started increasing with high fire danger. This continued on Saturday with Red Flag Warnings issued. The surrounding wildland and open areas are very dry. There seem to be less birds visiting the garden but there are still some but see hummingbirds frequently. Saw the bullfrog at the pond. Also saw a lizard. Probably a western fence lizard or spiny lizard. |

| Another week of mostly marine layer clouds and foggy nights, but the north wind returned for the past two days. The landscape is staying moist due to the foggy drizzle, but the ground is drying out, so back to watering twice a week. The wind made ocean conditions rough and the players at the local pickle ball resort are complaining about the impact of the wind on their games. Enjoying watching a good population of young birds in the gardens. Lots of Song Sparrows and Hairy Woodpeckers, but no young Quail as yet. A mother bear and cub were spotting in our housing area this week. The coastal campgrounds and RV parks are starting to fill up with tourists and with the 4th on a Saturday, the local quirky Mendocino Parade promises to be packed. |

| General: I've moved us to moderately dry, since we're almost up to expected levels for June. We're still low for the water year. We've had some rain the last two days, which has been a tremendous relief.
Agriculture: The mustard and wheat (oats?) crops of our neighbors are looking good. The recent rain has really helped.
Energy: Still in the strong solar production stage. Even with rain and clouds yesterday we produced 38.97 kWHR and only used 13.94 kWHR. We've had to use the AC some recently, but are using the heater this morning (!).
Fire: Risk is high, based on the Fourth of July. For some reason the County hasn't banned fireworks this year despite the severe drought.
Plants/animals: We're still seeing and hearing many birds, and occasionally a snake. Finally saw a squirrel this week (they're pretty rare here because of all the predators). Almost no ants, flies, beetles, yellow-jackets, bees, which is very distressing. We should be overwhelmed by yellow-jackets by now.
Water: Again, we're way low for the year. |

| Much drier week than the two weeks prior. The month of June will end with a surplus in all NOAA Norm To-Date categories. MTD should end with over three inches of surplus for a monthly total of over eight inches of rain. US Drought Monitor moved this station location from Abnormally Dry to No Drought Conditions this past week. All crops and vegetation are doing well with corn greater than waist high in most fields. I have seen a couple fields over head high. All area rivers are in bank. Starting the week off with Extreme Heat Warning with a chance of severe storms this afternoon. The high heat and humidity is supposed to last most of the week so we will see how soil conditions hold. I expect that I will be watering the garden in a day or so. |

| Rain for the week at this location was 0.53 in. & a trace. Put up a new gauge Wednesday of this week at 2938 reports. Haven't gotten enough rain since to put anything in it. Unless something untold happens to it, it will probably outlast me. The 120 acres around me got a new owner last year and they did massive tile addition and removed a huge number of rocks to add to the existing rock pile on the property. It is now a fairly large green mountain. I have seen the same result in another rock pile from a tile project in the hood from last fall. The corn has really jumped in the past week. It is still evident of spots of different heights in fields for some reason. There was spot spraying of weeds done in fields early this week before the corn got to shoulder high in a lot of places. Crops are looking good. Grass has slowed down a bit. There is rain to the West of this location . Don't know if it will get to here. High temps for the first of the week forecast. |

With a hundredth this morning and nothing significant forecast for the rest of the week, we’ll end this quarter of the Water Year with a total of 7.98” against PRISM average of 11.56” – 69%. That said, we’re still at 99.9% of average for the Water Year. Will return to mildly dry for the nonce, on the strength of the week’s nice soaker. Brown areas in lawns are much improved and some native flora showing signs of stress have bounced back nicely. Pond level is normal, as is wildlife activity.

| Some much needed rain came this week. Two systems over three days brought close to an inch (0.94"). Some areas of the state got well over two inches. The first system was a gentle all-day event, the rain soaked in. The second storm was a front that poured hard over a short period creating a fair amount of run-off. In both cases it all helps to lessen the drought conditions.
Plants are growing - lawns started getting green with the rain and needed mowing. Milkweed is in full bloom and the pollenator garden is loaded with bees (bumblebees, sweat bees, mason and leaf-cutter bees and others) and a few butterflies. Hostas are in full bloom as are the clematis. Buds are forming on Shasta daisies and goldenrod. Several "lightening bugs" or fireflies are flying around although I haven't seen their nighttime light show (I keep looking). There is a noticeable difference in sound at night - it's missing. No crickets or other bugs that create a background noise. Puzzling...
Weather forecasts for the coming week include temps well into the 90s. The heat dome over the central part of the country is headed our way next and should be the main feature for the second half of the week. While some folks love hot weather, it's my least favorite. Heat index readings over 100° is my chance to complain endlessly about the weather:-) |

Temperatures and dew points have continued to be very pleasant and a little below seasonal average for this time of year with daily highs going into the low 70's(F). So far this year we have not been plagued with the hazardous wildfire smoke that has polluted our atmosphere the past few summers. Lightning bugs are flashing after dark, and mosquitoes in town are present, but tolerable. Lawns are green, lush and growing rapidly. Moles have been unusually active burrowing through the lawns.

| Although it is mildly wet, conditions are drying out very rapidly. It was a rainy week totaling 1.8 inches of precip. Wednesday into Thursday itself produced 0.94 inches of rain and restored two ephemeral ponds on the property that otherwise do not occur in the summer. By Saturday, the standing water was gone and lawn mowing was both possible and necessary. However, there is still lingering moisture. Surface soils remain slightly damp, the drainage ditches are carrying water, Hess Lake is over its banks and into surrounding woods, and lawns are lush and green. Summer is in full swing; lots of Illinois and other out-of-state vehicles on our backroads. More roadside farmstands are appearing and are advertising local produce. The corn is more than knee-high. Lightning bugs have been active for several weeks and a Rose-breasted grosbeak made a brief appearance. Lots of agricultural and outdoor recreation going on. |

It's hard to know what to call it--I'll call it mildly dry for now, even though at the moment it looks like normal June weather. We are still at about 50% of normal for May and June, which historically are the two wettest months here. Until a couple days ago, temps were well above normal. Streamflows are below normal and only coming up a little from this storm. Unwatered grass has turned brown--maybe it will green back up? |
