A select few saw some rain Friday Aug 25th. But if you didn't you're going back to the 14th. Deficits are running anywhere from 4 to 12" short of rain on the year.

Yes, Thursday morning may see overnight lows in the 40's for north iowa
Hope so but seems like everything is pushed back a month or so from what it use to be weather wise these days.

Yeah, seems that way … Novembers are warmer, even Decembers aren’t often too bad - we get our hardcore winter weather in January & February now. April is way chillier than it used to be, even early May can be dicey. Then we get summer lasting well into September.
Lots of lightening. I may or may not be laying in the hammock watching it…
I started regular watering maybe just over a week ago, before this latest heat wave, for the same reason. Any time I let mine go dormant the weeds take over very quickly. Looking to support it back to a strong growth environment before winter.
Put a soaker nozzle on the end of my hose and set a five minute timer and moved it around my columnar white pines for 90 minutes to give them a good soaking in. Will do the same for the crabapple tree today. Already did same for 10 Japanese yews. Could see drying needles on them.....should have been hitting them earlier.
Yeah, I've been using a 5 gal bucket with holes a few times this summer. I've noticed quite a few trees in my neighborhood that are already turning. They look REALLY stressed. Crazy dry summer.
