0.0” of precip last week. 1.87” of Evapotranspiration. Temps were seasonal - morning lows in the 70s with one morning at 80 degrees F, afternoon highs mid 90s, every day Heat Index above 100 degrees for multiple hours. Ground soil is drying out and cracks are getting noticeable. These are typical conditions for this time of year so leaving as Near Normal. Supplemental watering for container plants twice last week but not needed yet for garden plants and trees. Filling up bird baths and fountains every couple days. Plants and wildlife healthy and active. FIFA activities around DFW area still busy. Independence Day activities were not slowed by the hot weather either - lots of boats on the water at Lake Ray Hubbard, lots of fireworks in the neighborhood after dark. Story for the week - hot! June Summary: 5.99” of rain spread over eight days for the month. 5.29” of ET. Coolest morning low was 69 degrees, warmest afternoon high was 96. Not a bad start to Summer - have not hit 100 degrees yet this season - average first day is July 1st. This station is at 21.73” of precipitation so far for the calendar year.
