That's pitiful. I'm beginning to think it may not actually rain until November. I have Bermuda grass and with it being a warm season grass I never have had to water it in October. It stops growing and we usually get just enough rain this time of year to hold it over until the 1st frost. But this is getting ridiculous and it looks like I'm starting to lose some of it. Thinking I'll try to water it some and see.

This is looking a lot like 2016 and 2001. Those were 2 very dry falls with very little rain until late November and this year may very well join them. El Nino is not behaving like it usually does.

The good news is that the GOM might be starting to fire up.

Going to the Jason Isbell and the 400 unit show on Saturday at Red Hat and it might be legit chilly for the show.

I'm going to the Oktoberfest in Cary on Saturday. Should be feeling great in the afternoon --> Sunny, breezy, and temps / dew points falling in the afternoon.

I have to admit 78-80 degrees feels pretty good today with a 15mph east wind. Makes a ton of difference.

But these oncoming low dps and no rain, make it hard to get seed in ground

Last year was very very wet in a La Nina year.
I was thinking last spring & early summer that I wouldn't be at all surprised for this EL Nino to be the opposite of what we are accustomed too,
Since La Nina was very very wet.
My yard was like walking on a wet sponge for a good portion of 22.
??
As for Winter,
I'm hopeful but expecting anything.
Bc the new Norm isn't normal.

It really seems sometimes that the patterns have switched and what happens is backwards from what we used to expect. Perhaps the Kinks said it best:

Ninas will be Ninos and Ninos will be Ninas
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world
Oh my ENSO... EN-EN-EN-EN ENSO
