My observations are anecdotal in the sense that I have made no attempt at comparison to long-term data. However, here in north-central Florida we seem to be experiencing an unusually dry summer. We have not had significant rain in at least 2-3 weeks. Afternoon rainstorms typically are experienced 2-3 per week (or so) but this year seem more sporadic and infrequent.--Terry J.
