We are still in a months long severe drought, exacerbated by low snowpack and high temperatures. July to date is at 31% of avg, the calendar year is at 66% of avg, and the water year is at 63% of avg. We are in the middle of a record-tying stretch of 95F+ temperatures. 

I am hearing about wells going dry. I have seen springs and small creeks drying up. Lawns which aren’t being watered are like straw. Vegetation in wild areas is subdued with fewer flowers. Fires are cropping up all over.
