A dry month with rain on only 4 days at my location totaling 1.19″. The NOAA average for September is 4.21″. This also marks the end of the Water year or hydrologic year that runs Oct 1 – Sept. 30. My total for this period is 51.32″ compared to the normal of 47.54″.
Talked to a Town employee last week and the town reservoir (Pleasant Valley) was only down 8 inches at the time so no water shortage. I can remember the reservoir being down 6 or more feet with the old road across showing. This is opinion that I try to stay away from, but I enjoyed this past month with drier than normal weather and temps not too hot or too cold on average.
All numbers are from my location in the SE corner of Brattleboro and may be different than your location.
Thanks for the report
That was a dry September! Not much of anything until the very end of the month. I was watering what was left in the garden more in September than any other month this season. Not lush by any means, but plants mostly hung in there.
Of course, if the alternative is the deluge NC just received, I suppose mostly dry is okay.
No frost yet. : )
Interesting that the yearly total was up.
