September ended with 0.32" of rain on the 28th.  The month was dry - a total of 0.61", less than half of the PRISM 30-yr average value of 1.34.  The 2022 water year is complete.  Our total was 7.77", about 3 inches below the normal of 10.93"  Plant growth has stopped for the season and this year there are far fewer autumn flowers than usual, and only a few grasshoppers.  Some trees still look stressed and dry, never having recovered from the very dry spring season.  Our water supply is adequate.
