| Over the past week, we experienced very calm conditions with no measurable rainfall. The skies were mostly clear to partly sunny, though coastal stratus clouds did occasionally dominate the view, softening the sunlight.
Looking ahead, we're expecting slightly gusty winds from the north on Sunday and into Sunday night, with gusts reaching around 30–32 mph. Although these winds fall below advisory criteria, they might create a fun kite-flying opportunity!
Since May 1, we've recorded just 0.65 inches of rain—about 33% below our usual average. With no significant precipitation expected in the next week and as we fully transition into summer, dry conditions are likely to continue. If any rainfall does occur, it might only be isolated, light showers early in the fall during a weak monsoonal phase, which won't offset the current deficit.
See you all next week, and thank you for reading. |

ENERGY - Last week’s temperatures were just around normal each day and night. So with our normals at 90 and 71, we’re not up or down in our Energy use age. Also, next week is forecasted to cloudy and rain changes each day and night. Clouds reduce the need for the AC to run as much.

| With only 0.15" of precip over the week soil conditions have returned to mildly dry. Area waterways have slowly dropped to below their normal levels. And the U.S. Drought Monitor still has our area in a moderate drought. Thought that the previous weeks heavy rains would have relieved that condition somewhat but the drought remains. Trees and shrubs are doing well enough but they are not quite as lush as to be expected. Area lawns are growing slower and my garden is now dusty dry on the surface with deeper soil still moist. Wildlife has been about the same with numerous birds at the feeder and what looks to be flycatchers or pee wees nesting above my front door. I did briefly try to discourage them but their persistence was so impressive that I relented. Maybe they will catch a few flying bugs that would otherwise get inside the house. |

Adequate rainfall this week prompted changes to flower beds to prepare for the arrival of summer annuals. The soil cultivated well without being sticky. Irrigating flower pot is a daily activity although automatic watering makes life easier. A late season cold front came through on Friday but was pretty much dry for this area. Road construction was limited to work that didn’t involve moving dirt. Lots of birds are in the yard and at the feeding table including cardinals, blue jays, house sparrows, titmice, chickadees, brown headed cow birds, and of course squirrels. |

| The weather is hot and the soil is dry. Field plants are growing very slowly this year, but roses, cacti and gardens are doing very well. Our May total precipitation was 1.07 which was more than twice the normal amount of 0.49. The water year total so far is 3.52 which is below the normal of 5.17. Most trees are healthy but some species are stressed and have yellow autumn leaves already, possibly due to the dryness before May. The June normal precipitation is 0.56 and the forecast is for almost this amount to fall next week. Our water supply is adequate. No fire weather concerns through the next three days as a substantial increase in moisture and thunderstorms is expected. |
