August was a dry and hot month with a lot of humidity, it was very miserable and I am glad it is over. The enitre summer wasn’t much better with us drying out badly at the end of June, July, and August after getting rain at the begining of each month. The wet season also never seemed to arrive this year which was a bummer.

The month was very hot and humid with most of our rain totals happening the last week of July. Otherwise it was fairly dry and watering was a must. I hope August will be cooler and less humid along with rain evenly distributed throughout the entire month. I am sure all of this is asking to much, lol.

What can I say about this month, we are in Florida and it has been miserably hot and humid most of the month. A lot of our rain came at the beginningof the month and from two separate thunderstorms. The plants need more spread out and even rain fall; hopefully more rain will come in July. I tried posting the stats in metric as well, I hope they match up to Fahrenheit and inches.

This month was a month of heat and drought at the begining of the month and then turned into a deluge. The last part was unsettled and stormy, but it was hot. The rain was much needed, but the flooding some areas recieved were not. We recieved jus over 9″ of rain from the main storm system that began May 17th and ended May 22nd.

June 1st was the start of the 2009 Hurricane Season for all of us along the United States coast.
