It's not just the snowpack, since June 1st MQT has received 5.34" of rain. It did get dry for a week or so in early June but otherwise ground is nice and damp and everything green and lush.

No real issues this year my way. In town, skeeters generally not much of an issue unless you live along the woods line. Flies are the bigger deal for me, and there has been hardly a fly to be seen. Just bugs in general on the low. That includes bees. My flower garden hasn't seen one yet, and if that continues, it would be worrisome. Bee decline is a serious issue.

Mostly just bumblebees, and even they are oddly small in size. Of course there's a plethora of wasps and hornets, as usual. Got stung on my hand last week. Do notice a ton of caterpillars this year.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 On a drought positive note, I’ve had zero issues with powdery mildew in my garden this year. Every year I’ve had it appear up in spots, but so far nothing. I can only attribute it to the lack of moisture hitting the leaves since I drip irrigate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The majority of the DVN cwa has been bumped out of the severe drought in the latest monitor update. Even some areas down to just abnormally dry now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It's odd they broad-brushed east-central Iowa with a drought downgrade from severe to moderate. A couple counties, through Cedar Rapids, missed out on much of the rain and have received less than an inch in July. The drought here hasn't improved at all. Typically, they do a good job showing small wet and dry holes on the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhou Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Thought yesterday's thunderstorms would do something but seems like it pretty much just missed the entire Twin cities area. Looks like we are in a severe drought here: Maybe it'll be like last year where we had a severe drought during the summer but made it all up in snow during the winter.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The drought map does not make sense. Over at least the last 30 days, much more rain has fallen in southern Iowa and southern Wisconsin than has fallen here in Cedar Rapids. I've barely received an inch. We've been missed by nearly everything, while Madison has been soaked several times. However, the drought map shows Madison and southeast Iowa in extreme drought while we are only in moderate drought. Even going back 60 or 90 days, we have not had any more rain than the extreme drought areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it since 2006, missing only four or five days. The more reports an area gets, the better the mesoscale/microscale accuracy is in a given location for the Drought Monitor. Here is an example of precip reports for June for Indiana with and without CoCoRaHS reports. I understand that it takes more than you reporting to make a significant difference, but every little bit helps. If all of the weenies here that closely monitor the weather would report, it would make a significant difference. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I hate drought, but there are two silver linings. I think I've mentioned before that drought knocks Japanese beetle numbers down to very low levels. There have been almost no beetles again this year. The other silver lining is this year's earlier drought has led to my crab apple trees being almost totally free of apple scab. I usually have trouble with bacterial leaf spot on my pepper plants, too, and I think the dryness of the foliage has helped keep the problem in check this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese beetles are the worst, can't think of any other pest that can ruin a garden so thoroughly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
