After a record setting wet spring, the summer so far has been fairly dry. Last week the U.S. Drought Monitor rated a few spots in Pennsylvania as "abnormally dry" by shading in those areas with yellow. Townville seems to be right on the edge of it but it is no secret that our area needs some rain. A good indication of this is the brown grass that seems to be becoming more prominent each and every day in our yards. It will be interesting to see the updated map that will be released this Thursday.
How below average are we for July? Average rainfall for the Meadville area in July is 4.27 inches. At this point in the month, we should have 2.46 inches. Our total so far...0.25 inches. We have a lot of catching up to do.
