0.0” of rain last week. 1.97” of Evapotranspiration. Temps remained very hot and well above normal for this time of year - two days afternoon highs 100 degrees and above and the rest in the upper 90s, morning lows in the 70s. Three days with Heat Advisory, two days with Air Quality Alert. D1 Drought Status remains in place. Burn Ban still in effect - five days of High Fire Danger, two days of Moderate Fire Danger. TX Power Grid continues to run under Normal Conditions. Overall conditions remain much the same as the last several weeks, however, I am seeing signs we are finally heading for Fall. The shorter days and position of the sun are helping with the intensity of the heat. My mums are getting buds. And hummingbird activity has peaked and I believe we are in the final days of seeing them for this season - always sad to see them go. Bumblebees and Dragonflies are still active but not seeing a lot of other wildlife activity. I am able to cut back on all outdoor watering a bit. New AC install last week went well - got it done all in one day thankfully. Story for the week - updating my motto: 50% chance of caution, 50% chance of hope for cooler temps and meaningful rainfall.
