3/10” in yesterday's storm. That be exactly 7 weeks without moisture.

Had 6 to 9 tenths, summerfallowed wheat may make in the 30s, stubble on sandy soil like 10, and had a good start.

Rainfall didn't do me in as much as the crazy heat, cant imagine how bad it would of been without the carbon tax.

I'm in the middle between two environment Canada stations. Both indicate almost 18mm in July, and 23mm in June. South station is probably correct, north one I suspect it is missing some.
If correct, that would be 18% of normal.
And this is the garden spot.
We got 1.75 in early July, and nothing noteworthy since.

Between 1 and 1 1/2”
3 weeks since the last rain
Some beautiful hay has been made.

Very nice to see clouds drifting in from Blackpowders ‘Garden of Rden’ to the West!
Rain gauge says 1.8” for July at Killam, we’ll less than 1” at SHERWOOD Patk East Edm… quite variable, Harvest will start in the next two weeks at Edm East peas and wheat. Perhaps 50% of normal there in many fields.
Cheers

0.4" since june 14th. Dad says it surpassed 2001 as the worst year as of a few weeks ago. Apparently 88' is the only time he remembers being any worse, so that's something.

As bad as it is not the worst for many years, I will survive.

7/10" here in the first week of July. Not much in June either. I agree that the heat and full sun all summer is likely worse than the lack of moisture. Have been watering the lawn around the house trying to keep it green but the only place it actually grows is in the shade. Pretty sad nothing is growing when there could still be 2 more months frost free. Looks like end of October around here. Was some moisture forcast for next week but gone now and a hot weekend coming up.

You must be in that narrow strip between Didsbury and Olds that looks really dry. The timothy field by the airport was brown early and some normally wet pieces near there look really tough.

Not far away, the yard is just west of Didsbury but have land from here to west of Olds. Lots of the hay crops here burned off in June, straight Timothy like that quarter looked horrible. The further North and West you go it gets better but at home we just missed every shower all year. Best crops is where it hailed June 15th because of the rain but didnt get a drop here. Some good crops North of Olds and have been camping west and it looks a lot better west of Hwy 22 also.
