In light of the abundant rainfall received during the summer, conditions still aren't as dismal as one would presume after less than 1" of rain in over two months. Plants are somewhat dry, yards need irrigated about weekly to stay green, and underbrush while out working is slightly parched. Fires in the last week have seemed to be more prevalent than normal though - but I can't be sure if they were prescribed burns or not. Air quality could use a good cleaning as well, so the front and associated rain right now is a welcome sight. All-in-all, a very mixed bag of conditions for this period!
