Several days of measurable rain from monsoon moisture with a total of .80 inches falling for the week. Even a little bit of hail fell on Monday which was bigger than pea size but smaller than marble size. This was very brief with no damage. Temperatures were hot to start the week and cooled off some to end the week. The high of the week was 89° on Tuesday and Wednesday. Lows were in the mid 50's to low 60's. The low of the week was 53° on Saturday. No change in plant life in the surrounding areas with brown grasses and some wildflowers blooming. Hummingbirds, finches, and robins seen in the garden as well as garter snakes. Also, smelled a skunk.  View

A weak weekend storm dropped 0.05" of precipitation to cap off the week. ETo 0.50". Highs ranged between 69-74, lows 52-62. Ruth Lake Reservoir 87% on 8/15. Mad River 5.78 feet and 50.0 cfs/Eel River 6.75 feet. Trinity River temperatures between 50-59, Klamath 70-71, Mattole 55, the ocean 56-62. No change in the drought map. Politicians revealed the proposed redistricting map for Congressional Districts this week. Humboldt will join Marin, the coastal strips of Sonoma and Mendocino away from their population centers, Del Norte, Trinity, Siskiyou, Shasta and Modoc counties. I don't know how what the reaction of Redding and Yreka and Alturas will be to San Rafael controlling them, but it should be interesting. A Wilson's Warbler passed through this week, so migration must be in the early stages. A pair were previously seen May 22, on the northbound journey. Big Leaf Maples have begun yellowing along the Mad River and connecting stream beds--a little early, but close to normal timing. This week tourists and residents have the Humboldt County Fair to enjoy, but shortened to 7 days out of 9, with no horse racing for the first time in 125 years. However, there will be some excitement as the people-powered Kinetic Sculptures will gather and put sole to earth, an exhibition that could only happen in Humboldt County.  View

We had another series of very wet foggy nights with light drizzle this week, helping to keep the landscape on the coast moist. However, our volunteer fire department had to handle two small debris and brush fires in our area this week, both man-caused. Fortunately, they have the fast attack trucks to knock these down quickly, so there was little damage, but there is always a chance of spread just inland from the coast where conditions are hotter and dryer. More potable water trucks around filling water tanks as the more shallow wells start to go dry. Signs of Fall continue with shrubs and trees starting to change color. The area is still full of RVs and campers and will continue to be until the Labor Day holiday. Ocean conditions have been calm for fishing and water sports.  View

Since last reported on 08/03/2025, received only 0.20" of precipitation from daily and multi-day totals. This does not include the 0.22" previously reported on 08/03. Topsoil sample taken today indicates dry and dusty soil down to the 4.0" level. Grasses are brown but some native grasses have seeded out with the minimal moisture we received. Tumbleweeds have sprouted all over the yard. I am providing supplemental water to the trees that have been planted in the past year. Birds have been very active around the water feature and for the first time, we have seen as many as five hummingbirds at one time in backyard garden areas. Observed one small dead bird under a pine tree on the north side of our yard. Cottontails have been active, and the one juvenile is getting braver with our presence. Thunderstorms that have come off the mountains seem to weaken and dry out from the heat of the atmosphere over the plains. Smokey haze from the west slope wildfires has been prevalent the past week making for some awesome sunrise and sunsets. On 08/14, we did have a thunderstorm develop right over our property and just sit stationary for almost an hour. It was a relatively weak thunderstorm with only 0.13" of precipitation and small hail stones. With the hot and dry conditions continuing with minimal precipitation, will revise the Condition Scale from Mildly Dry to Moderately Dry.  View

On the verge of going with Severely Dry. We haven't had but .04" rain MTD. Landscape is very dry, although there is some moisture below 6" below ground level. Grasses are all going dormant, aspen trees are very stressed and photosynthesis is beginning to shut down and leaves are dropping green and yellow. Current bushes are looking stressed. Wyoming ground squirrels have gone underground for their August sleep (they will re-emerge later for a couple of weeks). My location is sitting at 4% of PRISM Normal MTD, 62% of Normal YTD, and 64% of Normal WYTD. Lots of visitors to the bird bath and the bird feeders. Many of the birds have left for the season but hummingbirds are still hanging around. The rivers are very low and I have not fished for fear of stressing the fish too much with the low water and high temperatures. Fire restrictions are in place for unincorporated Larimer County above 6,000 feet. Prohibited are uncontained fires, smoking in the open, fireworks, incendiary devices, and welding. No additional fire restrictions in Rocky Mountain National Park beyond permanent Stage 1 restrictions.  View

General awareness: Our 4 year average for moisture is 1.39" and we've only received a .05", so we're down on moisture at this point. We still have half the month to go, so we still have time! Agriculture: Our neighbors started harvesting their winter wheat last night! The spring wheat looks pretty much ready to harvest, too. Energy: We're having to use the AC some now, but even at that we created 60.8 kWHR and only used 17.08 kWHR. Fire: Risk is high right now. Thunderstorms get your attention because of the potential lightning strikes coupled with high winds. Plants/wildlife: We have a bat that has been frequenting our porch. I worry that it doesn't have sufficient moths, which are in short supply this year along with all insects. Water: We're still in good shape for the water year. Our 4-year average is 18.55", and we are currently at 18.59". I placed us at "mildly dry" based on our August rainfall.  View

With over an inch of rain this past week, conditions remain near normal. High heat and humidity is back and will stick around for a couple additional days, but there are chances of rain with this heat. Grass has slowed a bit but is still being cut a couple times a week and is showing minimal signs of heat stress. I have provided some supplemental watering to the garden and potted plants, but minimally. Area crops continue to look good, with the ears of corn looking quite full from the road. Beans are still green and maturing. Area rivers are at their normal levels for this time of year.  View

After a very dry 3 weeks, we received 1.40" of rain this morning. This was a welcomed sight as lawn growth was really starting to slow down and crops were showing the very beginning signs of heat/moisture stress. This rain will go a long ways into maintaining normal soil moisture and sets up crops to have a strong end to their growing season.  View

Several storms of heavy rain yesterday and early this morning deposited 2.45 inches of rain for a MTD total of 3.33 inches, 159% of NOAA 30 year norm. Marked bar at Mildly Dry due to YTD being 82% of NOAA Norm and WYTD being 79% of NOAA Norm. Water Restrictions in place in neighboring Woodstock and Crystal Lake. Grass is green, and rain means I will not need to be watering raised beds and planters for a few days, a change from daily watering needed this past hot week. Good to see many butterflies on zinnias and bees on salvia. Wild Turkey and one offspring wandering yard daily.  View

I received 1.21" of rain to start the week, none the rest of the week. Ground conditions are good but I am still down for the water year about 5" so I will keep my condition at Mildly dry. Our corn and bean crops look very good. The pond is stable but down around 3" from the overflow. Our local creek is still flowing, which is good for August. My lawns are green and growing slowly, which is also good for August. Our geese families are spending most of their time over on Powerton lake. The garden is good except for weeds!!  View

A bit of everything this week. Severe Weather Event Friday. Many alerts, watches and warnings issued. Heavy winds, lightning, thunders, hail, over an inch of rain received. Tree debris occurred, no extreme damages at my location. Following that event, another Heat Wave. Heat indices ranged from 100F to 124F. 124F heat index lasted briefly on Friday the 16th around 7PM, it dropped to 107F around 8PM. Increase in mosquitoes and flies. Plants and animal activity remained the same or normal. Mowing required. Tons of acorns fell off trees this week. Topics worthy of mention outside the area-One person contracted Naegleria Fowleri (brain eating amoeba) from the waters in Lake of the Ozarks. Hurricane Erin is also a topic of discussion. Overall Mood-still hot, humid and Iowa Extremes are typical for Iowa Summers. Most are prepared for extremes each season of the year. Looking ahead-forecast offers more chances for Heat, Humidity, and Rain. Continue to stay Weather Aware Everyone! :):)  View

The wet conditions of the previous observation period have moderated somewhat, so have pulled back to Mildly Wet. This location did receive nearly seven-tenths of rain during the last seven days as temperatures averaged 2.7 degrees above normal. Yesterday was exceeding warm with heat indices easily above 105F. Have succeeded in getting the tall lawn mowed and trimmed up after being away as noted in the previous report. Crops continue to look excellent. The Des Moines river is running high with the local feeder rivers well within banks. The county finally graded the badly rutted road to this location, and they add more ROCK!

August 9-15, 2025 Brignac, Louisiana On Tuesday midday, this area experienced some training effects due to the rain that occurred as a tropical system passed through the Gulf of Mexico. Despite receiving a half-inch of rainfall on Tuesday, road construction continued. On Wednesday, the heat index reached a scorching 110 degrees at 3:00 p.m., but little rain was visible on radar images. Fortunately, soil moisture is good, and lawn grasses are pushing vigorously. To prevent clippings from piling up, mowing should be done every 5 days or sooner if grass growth is adequate. This week, solarization of the front lawn will be completed after two months of diligently moving the plastic around and eliminating grass, seeds, insects, and some diseases. Still too hot and sticky at night to enjoy the evenings!  View

Only 0.01 inch of rain last week along with warm temperatures have resulted in a significant increase in dry conditions. Brown patches on lawns are expanding and grass has stopped growing. Garden soil is dry a couple inches deep and I have started selective watering. My pond has completely dried up. A Great Blue Heron visited several times during the week to feast on stranded amphibians. The water level in Bassett Brook is low and the spillway of old mill dam on the Hoosic River at Cheshire Harbor is showing intermittent dry spots. The leaf litter on the forest floor is dry and mushrooms are few. Bears are active and I chased a large black bear out of my chestnut tree Tuesday night. Normally wet sections of hiking trails on Mt Greylock have dried out.  View
