| Compared to previous years, June was a wet month. Last week was hot, in the high 80's or 90's. My native flowers are blooming - false sunflower, bee balm, yarrow, butterfly milkweed, common milkweed. I saw 2 monarch butterflies at Versailles State Park yesterday, haven't any seen here yet. Strangely, the birds did not eat my blueberries this year. Nice that I got to pick some. |

| 1.6 inches received this week. Drought Category remains abnormally dry. Despite the decent rain received, the heat overwhelms and dries out faster, with more humid. AC needed with fans all days, not much for open windows due to the humidity. Increase in fluids is needed, especially if doing things outdoors. Mowing still required this week. There were a few mushrooms growing but something ate them. Noticed arachnid webs around ant hills in the back yard, thanks to mother nature for evicting some of them quickly. I saw what I do believe was a small lunar moth on my screen door. Have seen these before, they are supposed to mean good luck. Increase in fire flies as well. Overall Mood is your typical Iowa Summer, most times with all of these things mentioned to add in.
Central Iowa is still under the same watering restrictions. A new Water Related incident of mention-Jasper Country Water disruption in near Lynnville 6/25/25 due to water tampering the water supply. This caused water loss to many in and and around the area.
Another Event of Noteworthy Mention-6/26/25 Meteorite in the South and Eastern areas of the United States observed by many with damage, probably many more than I have viewed yet. Thought it would be neat to mention for sky watchers.
Enjoy the July Celebrations Safely with the Summer Conditions All, and God Bless America! :):)

| Rainfall is near normal to mildly wet this past week and through the month of June. Fire danger is low, fields are green, and lush. No water deficit issue or problems in this area. Of course, tourists are probably not as happy as they could be with the occasional rainy days in June. Reservoirs are full, lakes and streams are normal in depth and flow, and no one in the area has had to face a dry well. I think the farmers, in general, are satisfied with the amount of rain we've gotten in June. We are fortunate. |

| A very hot and humid week. Although with the greater than normal precept, the last two months, we still would’ve been good shape and “normal“ even with no rain. But any of the little bit of drying that was beginning to happen all disappeared with that sudden 1.82 inches Yesterday afternoon. Plant growth is very lush. Streams full. Birds and bees are happy and proliferating. |

| Since last report, we have received 5.24 inches of rain. We have been told that we are no longer in drought conditions. However, the ground (at least before today's cloudburst) was somewhat damp in places and dry in others. This past week we had very high temperatures for June (mid to upper nineties), and we had to limit time outside. Extreme heat advisories were announced throughout the week.
We lost one of the cucumber hills, but the vegetables are growing well after the rains we have been getting. We planted sweet potatoes, some more peppers and eggplant. The beans and snap peas are about a foot high.
We have also planted some cabbages and are using shade cloth when it has been hot.
We had a bluebird nest in the newspaper box that we typically use to store dog toys. We saw four (4) babies hatch and fledge this month! It was nice to see the little ones so close by. |
