We received 0.56” of rainfall this week which helped some with the vegetation for a few days but didn’t do much for the trees or add to water levels like we need. The rain total for the month of August has been 1.13”. Soil moisture at the surface benefited from the rain but is now back to being very dry. Plants are suffering from the lack of moisture and the intense heat. Most of the trees in my yard are brown and many have already dropped their leaves. Water body levels are decreasing very quickly now and most streams are dry as well as some of the smaller ponds. Many livestock farmers are having to feed hay to their animals. Wildfire risk is very high now with all the brown leaves and grass, low humidity and some wind.  View

A week of some fog, but also some mild, sunny afternoons. The north wind returned for a while yesterday, drying things out. Ocean conditions were favorable for fishing and water sports. Lots of tourists in the area and more will be arriving for the Labor Day weekend and the local festivals. There is a definite sense of Fall coming. Trees are losing leaves and our grape vines are coloring up. The local birds are starting to form their winter flocks.  View

August 24 - 30, 2026: no precipitation but 'monsoon' rain patterns in southern and central mountain areas during this past week. Wild fires that have burned millions of acres of valley, foothills, and forest areas this summer are beginning to be brought under control, although new fires continue to be started by lightening and careless land use activities. "Muggy" feel to air at times during the week. Dehimidifier in the 'root cellar' has been pulling gallons of water from the air this week. Plants in the gardens are beginning to 'go by'--flowers on daisys and blackeyed susans are browning, Incredibal hydrangea blooms are now huge but a soft green color rather than white, grapes are ripening along the fence. Oaks along the street in the front are beginning to drop acorns like hail; horse chestnut spikey balls will be falling soon. All these plant and tree responses to this summer's intense and dry heat seem to be weeks ahead of normal. Oak tree acorns should continue to fall until November, for instance, but probably will last only into possibly October. Animals that eat the acorns over the winter will have a sparse supply. In the foothills and mountains, wildlife are already moving to lower elevations looking for food because drought and fires this summer have dried up or burnt their late summer supplies. Many winter range areas in the valleys have burned. This winter may be hard on wildlife because food supplies will be scarce. Water levels in upper Boise River basin reservoirs are rapidly being lowered--Lucky Peak is currently 65% full, Arrowrock 22%, and Anderson Ranch 61%. Seasonal management and conservation releases from Lucky Peak Dam often target winter/early-spring minimum flows are around 220 cfs. Current discharge at the Glenwood Bridge is about 722 cfs, being maintained for irrigation water rights needs and recreational uses. Hot. Dry. No rain.  View

Despite receiving around a tenth of an inch this past week, and running 160% of normal for the month, it just doesn't seem that wet. For whatever reason, the topsoil just drys quickly. So, moved the condition back to near normal. Some leaves are starting to turn. Noticed yesterday in a trip east on I80, a few corn and beans fields have started to turn, likely earlier planted fields. Otherwise, summer is hanging on with the return of heat this next week.  View

0.17” in the preceding week; August now stands at a grand total of 0.78” against PRISM average of 3.66”. Year-to-date we’re still more than 2” to the good of YTD average, but August has been remarkably dry and must admit I was hoping for a wet end of the water year; we’ve still got ‘24-‘25’s deficit to overcome, and the main local reservoir isn’t recharging as it has in the past, although the level on this pond is pretty much where it should be. Despite all this, there’s been minimal lawn browning so far. Seasonal color change continues. In the garden, many plants are starting to declare themselves done, although eggplant and pepper plants continue to positively thrive and tomatoes are still producing. Wildlife is active; the buck mentioned last week showed up later in my yard – he’s a gorgeous 8 pointer. Haven’t seen him since.  View

Most of the showers and storms forecast for last week bypassed us leaving us with less than a half inch of rain for the week. August ends with just over half of our normal rainfall. But you would never know that by looking around. Vegetation growth remains vigorous with no sign of water stress. Lawns remain green and lush, and require mowing every five days; unusual for the end of August. Garden soil retains good moisture and good vegetable production continues. My pond remains full. Leaf litter on the forrest floor remains damp and continues to sprout mushrooms. Bassett Brook and Hoosic flow levels have dropped to the point where the spillway on the old mill dam at Cheshire Harbor has dry sections. But puddles still remain in potholes in dirt and paved parking areas. Hiking and biking trails on Mt Greylock remain mostly dry with the usual damp sections. The red maples along the bike path by Cheshire Lake have begun to change color.  View

This week started with 0.62" of rain spread out over three days, followed by four dry days. Drought conditions have improved but we could use more rain. There are regions in the state that are even dryer though, so every little bit helps. It also seems like the dog days of summer have passed and autumn is knocking on the door. Cooler and dryer conditions, with clear deep blue skies are back. Many of the flowers in the pollenator garden have passed and are starting to go to seed while the second wave of goldenrod are coming into bloom now. Rose of Sharon are still blooming. Bumblebees and a few smaller bees are still at work and another Monarch butterfly was spotted Wednesday. Tomatoes are still developing in six pots - they got off to a late start after the groundhog ate all but the main stem weeks ago. They made a nice comeback though. I may get a dozen or so good sized heirlooms before the season is completely finished. Another early sign of autumn settling in is the dogwood - it is starting to change its leaf coloring to deep maroon. Norway maples are starting to drop leaves already without changing color. Next year's flower buds on the Andromeda and rhodedendron are set. Sunsets are coming much earlier. As already mentioned, autumn is knocking at the door.  View

For the week ending 8/30/2026, conditions were NEAR NORMAL. The 7-day cumulative precipitation total of 0.11 inches was 86% below the 13-year (2009-2022) average of 0.78 inches and in the “moderately dry” range; the 30-day total of 3.50 inches was 2% above the expected 13-year average of 3.42 inches and in the “near normal” range; and the 90-day total of 14.92 inches was 46% above the expected 13-year average of 10.25 inches and in the “moderately wet” range. The 7-day water balance was -0.67 inches (0.11 inches of rain minus 0.78 inches of evapotranspiration). There was 1 day of measurable precipitation, with 0.11inches on the 30th. Temps ranged from 82 F (on the 26th & 28th) to 53 F (on the 25th), with average Hi/Lo temps of 78/60 F (-1/-3 relative to last week). Precipitation Trends—August to Date: 3.50 inches (down 0.63 inches, 85% of PRISM Normal); Year to Date (2026): 34.36 inches (up 6.98 inches, 125% of PRISM Normal). Corn and soybean crops in the area look normal for this time of year. Bird activity in the yard has been slow. Neighborhood yards are relatively green for late August, and the grass continues to grow.  View

With a total of.29" observed precipitation in the past week, conditions at this station appear to be mildly dry. Humidity has provided dewy mornings that keep plants going, but there are a lot of yellowed and browned leaves. Supplemental watering has been necessary for some vegetables and ornamentals, and wildlife has been more visible in their search for water. Monarchs are passing through on their migratory path but in much smaller numbers than in the past. Bees have also been more visible in the past week, working toward the harvest season. It would be great to have more rain, even the short, intense storms like earlier this summer. As the growing season now lasts through October at this location, the plants will need more to continue producing.  View

Weekly precip was 1.67 inches. A typical week for late August. We are cutting beans now. The only day that wasn't 94 degrees or above was this past Monday when it topped out at 85 due to clouds and light showers/sprinkles most of the day. Wednesday was the hottest day (98) and was also the day of our biggest rainfall event in about a month. Some areas of the farm received over 2 inches of rain that day (1.64 at gauge location). We started cutting again yesterday afternoon and the ground conditions were quite soft. Amazing how well 1.5 to 2 inches of rain can turn concrete consistent ground into the soft conditions I saw yesterday (This ground was irrigated 3 times while the beans were growing so not as dry as native areas). The yard is still firm though the recent rain has perked up the dry spots. I would say we are somewhere between mildly dry and near normal. Since we were tracking up the field yesterday I opted for near normal.  View

My husband waters most flowering plants, but not the little pine tree, which is extremely dry. I worry about the trees. The rain they get is probably close to a trace overall. Our lawn is doing okay, but it’s mostly in shade all day. Very few insects. Used to have lots of yellow jackets and bees. Wasps seem to be the pollinators. We still have chives. Not much else growing as far as what we eat. It has been cool enough to use only a small fan for me and open windows for my husband. No water restrictions. It seems like the Merrimack River has more water in it. The rocks visible from the Manchester Street Bridge are covered over by water. COVID vaccines still not available in our pharmacy. They are in Manchester, NH. Visited a clinic the other day and only one man was wearing a mask. The highways are still quite packed with vehicles going north to the mountains on Thursday and Friday each week.  View

With about one half inch of precipitation in the past week but slightly cooler temperatures, I'm going to go with Near Normal because the ground has been absorbing water well with almost no flooding. The ground has plenty of moisture, but nothing is "wet" or sopping. Potted plants have needed watering. It has been cool and humid in the past week-- not oppressive humidity but pervasive - everything feels just a little sticky. Some trees showing early signs of autumn color. For a few weeks now, some lilacs have been dropping leaves, which is very unusual as they usually drop very late in the season, sometimes with the first snow. Leaves have splotches of gray in the most shady parts (not the usual mildew). I'm guessing that it is a fungal infection similar in behavior but not in looks to the black tar fungus of maple tree leaves as the tree branches are mostly healthy. In the garden, some annuals are "giving up" and going light green when they should be dark green at this time of year. Late plantings barely grew at all this year. Folks are starting to blame the wet, cooler, and possibly cloudy summer, but I'm not yet fully in that club. It felt wetter, but other than that, I don't think anything was extreme. Chestnuts are slowly growing. But some of my apple trees are almost 50% leafless now due to leaf drop. (Still a few more apples to drop). Allergies have been lower. Water levels in rivers feel about normal (not low, not high) for late summer. It feels like we're ending summer before Labor Day this year. That's OK. I'm ready for a change.  View
