| We have received measurable rain on 7 consecutive days since June 26, which has resulted in considerable grass and plant growth in pastures and gardens. Sand roads are flat and firm again. After an unusually dry start to June, and a very dry second half of May, the rainy season is finally providing much-needed daily rains. The humidity has risen significantly, often over 60% and closer to 80% in the evenings when storms are in the area. The daily temperature has come down from the high 90s to moderate 80s-mid 90s. |

| June ending is slightly dry, even though the June ending was just above the monthly avg.
Grass is drying out and landscaping requires some watering. June had a week of 90 degs temps w/ windy conditions. The AC bill will be on the large side.
Farm fields are doing good, corn is fairly high in many fields.
The Water YTD and Calendar YTD numbers are still running well above avg. |

| Station CB-KY-10 had entered D1 - MODERATE DROUGHT this morning. Yesterday I have noticed that 85 to 90 percent of the grass is brown. I have taken a long walk yesterday. I have noticed that some of the grass at NKU is very crisp and extremely yellow brown along Johns Hill Road. Approximately 10 percent of the trees are showing drought stress - particularly pine trees which are beginning to show brownness and the small decidious trees which are showing some minor wilting. The pond level is much lower than normal. There are large cracks in the lawn areas. The soil is pulling away from the sidewalks and foundations. The next door neighbor's tree in the front yard is now totally dead with no leaves on it at 747 Johns Hill Road.
I had to keep continuing to water my newly planted trees at the cemetery and keep watering my marigold planters. The rabbit ate almost all of my marigolds last week. I have measured only 0.77" of rain during the past 30 days 6/3/2024 to 7/2/2024. Had a high of (27.0) 80.6 F yesterday and a low of 12.9 C (55.2 F) @ 6:32 a.m. this morning. There is almost no local stream flow except for the Licking and Ohio Rivers in Campbell County.
The grass is so dry in some areas that it is becoming a fire hazard especially from the following activities: 1) Fire works; 2) Outdoor barbecue grilling; 3) Smoking outdoors due to cigarette butts; 4) Sparks from operating gas-powered lawn equipment including lawn mowers; and 5) Having small fires in backyard fire pits. Drought conditions at KY-CB-10 are now as bad as it was in early October 2019. If we do not get a significant rainfall within the next two weeks around July 16, 2024, drought conditions will likely reach D2 - SEVERE DROUGHT and become as bad as it was in the severe drought of 2012.
Rain is desperately needed in Campbell County.

| Over 3.5 inches of rain in the last week. Rains were pretty hard and quick causing some damage. Draws on either side of our home ran for the first time in several years causing water gap fence damage along highway 55. Anxious to visit the Manzano mountains to see how they faired. Grass and weeds are actively growing. Dirt tanks have lots of water. Very active rainy season. Fire danger is low. We are thankful! |
