0.0” of rain last week. 2.40” of Evapotranspiration. All seven days at or above 100 degrees F for afternoon highs, morning lows in the 70s and 80s. Hottest day of the year at this location occurred during the week at 107 degrees. Extreme Heat Warning for 2 days, Heat Advisory for 2 days, and Air Quality Alert for half the week. D1 Drought Status. Remain under Burn Ban, no fires in my immediate area. Texas Power Grid running under Normal Conditions. We’ve only had 0.23” of rain in the last 45 days with 30 of those days at, but mostly above, one hundred degrees. The last 20 days in a row has been the longest one hundred degree streak for this Summer at this station. Supplemental watering schedule remains unchanged from previous weeks. Plants and beds are doing fine with the current watering schedule but a few plants are burnt from the sun. There is pretty much nothing green left in the yard and prairie restoration area (do not get supplemental watering). Birds are still appreciative of me keeping the baths and fountains filled. Migration has started so surely this is a sign that Summer is coming to an end. Bumblebees still very active - I’m happy I have flowers they enjoy! August Summary: 0.23” of rain for the month. 10.11” of Evapotranspiration for the month. Story for the week - hot and dry with a drop of pessimism. The heat and lack of rain is starting to wear on me mentally as well as physically.
