0.0” of rain last week. 2.93” of Evapotranspiration. Temperature highs - all seven days were over one hundred degrees - coolest day was 102 degrees F, hottest day was 106 degrees. Morning lows in the upper 70s to low 80s. Extreme Heat Warning - six days, Heat Advisory - one day, Air Quality Alert - three days due to ozone air pollution. D0 Drought Status. Outdoor Burn Ban in effect as of last Tuesday. Texas Power Grid operating under Normal conditions. Supplemental watering of container plants still at twice a week - all are moved to get as much shade as possible. Supplemental watering of native plant beds now at once a week but may need to be more - I tried checking the soil with my moisture meter but the ground is like cement and I couldn’t even push through the very top of the soil. Ground has large cracks everywhere - it looks like puzzle pieces in my yard. Trees are getting watered once a week now too but many have brown, dried leaves and/or have lost all the leaves (smaller trees). Mowing the yard hasn’t happened in several weeks now as it’s all brown and crunchy. Conditions are to stay this way for at least the next two weeks - no relief in sight. Local meteorologists have teased a 10% chance of rain but I say: 10% chance of optimism, 90% chance of disappointment. At this point it’s going to take days and inches to get relief. Story for the week - dangerous heat and very dry conditions.
