August Weather Report

Bronzed Cowbird

August was unseasonably warm and dry. Total rainfall came to six inches, only a little more than half the average of 10.5 for the month. It began dry, and rains picked up gradually as the month wore on. Total rainfall for the year stands at 71.6 inches.

The average daily high was 80 degrees, the highest since we began recording data. The average daily low was 64 degrees, almost five degrees above the monthly average.

Winds were generally light from the east.

These conditions were apparently perfect for growing grass, as we spent a lot of time mowing the lawn.

Happy gardening!
