August will end with no measurable precipitation. Zero!
That's only slightly less than a couple of Julys here, with 0.05 and 0.03" - but it's our first fully dry calendar month since we moved here. Both July and August average less than an inch, so it's somewhat surprising that we've gone eight summers without a zero.
Our water-bucket that fills from a hole in our gutter is essentially empty. Since most of our live plants are up on the deck, it's a handy water diversion project when it works. With no rain since July 6th, it's time to get out the hose and fill the bucket - that should do until the rains resume!
