Dear WeatherCat observers of the seasons turning,
Amazingly, we have picked up 2.64" (67.1mm) of rain since the 15th of May. That's a lot of late season moisture occurring after the grasses had turned to seed. Out of curiosity I took a photo at about the same place I took the photo of the grasses starting to turn. Here is that earlier photo taken on May 1st:
Here is the photo taken this morning:
There are some obvious changes as a result of the storms. Some of the grasses were blown down by the wind. I'm curious to see if the moisture will start the decomposition process that we normally only see in late autumn. If it does that might mitigate some of the fire concerns.
I'll take another photo in a few weeks. Stay tuned!
Cheers, Edouard
