With the books closed on May, 2021, all we can say is that it was one wild weather month. In looking back at the daytime high temperatures, they ranged from 18 degrees above average, to 25 degrees below average.
The heat in the middle of the month, along with a prolonged lack of rainfall, had the turf looking like it was the dog days of summer. Then, over the final week of the month we received 3.6" of rain, and temperatures best suited for a polar plunge during Memorial Day weekend..
Between the highs and lows, the lack o' rain, followed by a whole lot of rain, the month actually didn't end up very far from average--but it was definitely a wild rollercoaster ride along the way.
It seems that June is taking the lead from last month, with another 1.35" of rain in the first few days, and now some serious heat to deal with. Managing fine turf now is definitely not boring!
