How Dry is it?

Really, really dry!

The precipitation to date is much lower than normal at Vineland Station and many other grape and tender fruit areas of the province. From May 1 to July 25, there has been a total of 87.4 mm or rain. The 85 year average for the same 3 months is 214.5 mm. In fact, the last main rain event (17.3 mm) took place on May 15th. Fortunately, most of the month of July has been somewhat moderate so vines and trees are better able to cope with the lack of rain.
