The month of August has been a wet one here in the far north. Today is no exception. A light rain that started last night grew stronger early this morning and has continued till noon. So far we've had 2.5 inches of rain this month and more than an inch is expected in the next few days. Doesn't sound like much but the monthly average for August is just 1.5 inches. Year to date rainfall measures 8.3 inches. Don't think things can get any greener around here.
Those of you in Texas could stand a bit more of the wet stuff. Seems that heat advisories have replaced storm warnings and the yearly rainfall is off by close to 20 inches. Drought. Of course, its not as hot as the summer of 1980. A string of 21 days with temperatures over 100. Also the one and only summer worked as a lifeguard at a community pool in Baytown. Man was I ever brown that summer.
