We made it through July. Total rainfall at my CoCoRaHs station (OR-DG-22) for July was a trace, average for the last 5 years is 0.24, the PRISM 30 year average for July is 0.50 inches. Now, can we make it through August? Looking back, most of the big fires of last years flared up in September, including the Archie Creek Fire that put many of us living on the edge. August could be a long month.
