Condition Monitoring Star of the Week, June 2nd - 8th, Beaufort County, SC

Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week was posted on June 3rd by an observer with station number SC-BF-10.  We chose this report because it shows how abundant rainfall affected water levels in local lagoons. It also notes changes in temperatures, humidity and evapotranspiration.  Reports like these help us to better understand the affect of seasonal precipitation on local communities.  Great job SC-BF-10!

We received 1.42" of rain this past week, bringing up the lagoon levels and replenishing some of the rainfall for May. Having said that, May fell 1.07" short for its average rainfall. We also experienced a slight cooling off with dry air - feels good, but evapotranspiration is higher during this period and it will be important to keep up with rainfall.
