According to the long range and weekly forecast the tap will shut off for most of the area for much of the rest of the month. 4 weeks of decent rains got the weeds going and some growth on plants but the palms always seem to be playing catch up. Part of that is winter damage setting them back, but the summer pattern (at least here) is only a little bit helpful. I have started on a better irrigation system using the well, but cant finish until winter, so i was hoping the rainy pattern would keep up. Maybe the winter rainfall will be helpful; the outlook is for wet, but also cold, so im skeptical right now.

and now for the famine.....

It was a good almost 2 weeks for near normal summer rain here but barring tropical systems I think the summer rainy season is done. Non irrigated yards will be dry by Friday.

You think the rainy season is already done? So now the rainy season is 3 weeks long? I'm being out negatived. Didn't think that was possible. 🙃

My feeling it is,I hope I'm wrong. Theres no more than 20-30% chance or rain for here the next 7 days and mid 90s. I think thats the pattern unless some tropical systems poke around. Its been a bust here for the normal, non-tropical system storms forming. June and July were ridiculous dry at my house and August only got rainy because of that tropical moisture that came in from the Bahamas. If this continues into next summer I will be doing major relandscaping next summer.
