A second dry month in a row with brown lawns and gardens needing regular watering. At my location recorded 2.06″ compared to the NOAA normal of 4.32 inches. A little less than half of normal. For the calendar year still a little ahead of the average with 32.52″ compared to the average of 30.73 inches.
This month there have been a number of small scattered rain storms traveling thru, and if you were lucky you may have received more rain than I. All numbers are from my location in the S.E. corner of Brattleboro and do vary.
Parched
Our lawn is getting crunchy in spots, and lots of plants that are in full sun are getting droopy.
The scattered-ness of some of those storms was very true. If anyone was driving around the region on one of those days, it could be pouring in one spot and bone dry in another.
Spotty for sure
One day last week, there was torrential downpour in Exit 3 vicinity, hail just northwest of Exit 2, dry pavement on Canal and Route 5 south, puddles accumulated on Rt 5 south of Algiers, and dry pavement again a mile or so further south.
