Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week is station number SC-BF-39. On May 23rd, they submitted the report below. We chose this report because it offers a clear picture of the hot and dry conditions in their location. Their report notes rainfall measurements along with excellent examples showing how weather is affecting their neighbors and local wildlife. Great job SC-BF-39!

In the last 21 days, we have had only 0.21 inches of rain. Little rain
in combination with some very hot days has made the ground quite dry; as
a result, people in our neighborhood have been using their irrigation
systems. This evening, when my husband was hand watering some of our
plants with a hose, a tufted titmouse flew to one of the plants he was
watering less than six feet away from where he was standing to get a
drink off the droplets on the leaves. Even the birds are noticing the
dry conditions! It is hard to believe that conditions have changed so
radically since my last report.
