Getting Our Feet Wet in Birmingham Alabama

Birmingham Alabama, well the whole state, has been in drought conditions this summer. This week though we have had some much needed rain and I think everyone is grateful and has enjoyed it quite a bit. Some of us, like our friend over here, have just wanted to sit out in it and enjoy some time in the rain. Can you tell he is big fan. (I know a bad pun, but it works so well.)

While state totals for the year are still low, we have enjoyed more than 3 1/2 inches of rain this week (that's out of 4 3/4 inches we have had total for the month of August) and a much needed break in temperature away from the hot and steamy 100+ degree days we were having for a while. The average temperature this week has only been about 87 degrees while the rest of the months average was just about 100.

Hopefully we can gain back some of the 17+ inches we are still behind so can drop all of our drought warnings, alerts, and restrictions. For now though, we are going to enjoy the puddles while they last.
