August 2017 My Weather Data

I collect data, and stories about precipitation, here in a page (see above), all month. Also, other weather stories, out of interest. We are susceptible to Mother Nature, and knowing if we our in a drought, or not, helps me with my gardening and my well water usage. 

Our Historical Data: August Precipitation

2017   116.3 mm
2016   88.80 mm
2015   120.7 mm
2014   185.25 mm
2013   166.5 mm

Earth, Air, Water, Wind and Fire

FIRE
This last day of August, Wasagamack, Manitoba First Nations are in evacuation. MLA Judy Klassen encourages people to donate to Red Cross on their behalf. I did so.
I went to:

Manitoba - Canadian Red Cross

 as they have a real need.


Higher-than-average fire activity<=Manitoba

Wasagamack, Manitoba First Nations

About 130 forest fires are currently burning in Manitoba. Gary Friesen, manager of the fire program at Manitoba Sustainable Development, said the province is seeing higher-than-average fire activity.
Some families were split up and children were panicking when a forest fire forced members of a northern Manitoba First Nation to flee their homes in the dark Tuesday night.

WATER and WIND
They are still in a flood situation in Texas. The photos are scary. Canada is sending help, as has Mexico, ironically enough.



Aug. 29 Flooding in Windsor

Windsor is a mess, after two days of rain. It's located at the west end of Lake Erie, across from Detroit, so I'm sure they are suffering, too.

Sadly, there are many without power in the 'Lake Effect Snow' area, west of Georgian Bay this morning, Aug. 17th.

They predict 50mm rain for us for Tuesday. We'll see. We are usually the 'stone in the river.' Where the clouds dissipate before they get here. I do hope more rain is on its way. Too many fires about.

Aug. 13th Severe Storms in Ontario

Aug. 25 Tornadoes yesterday. Seriously.



Not as much as they'd predicted...

RVCA Update: SEVERE DROUGHT

Water levels in the Rideau Canal reservoir lakes, Bobs, Wolfe, Upper Rideau and Big Rideau, are about 30 centimetres below what are typical for this time of year. The lake levels now are what is usually seen in late September - early October on three of the lakes.

Levels on non-reservoir lakes have also continued to decline assisted to a large extent by evaporation of as much as 2.5 cm per day due to the recent 30 degree temperatures. Boaters on all lakes will need to be careful to avoid newly exposed shoals and rocks as levels drop.
It's time to cut back:

Typical residential indoor water use breakdown across the United States and Canada is:
Toilet
24%
Leaks
12%
Shower
20%
Other
4%
Faucet
19%
Bath
3%
Clothes Washer
17%
Dishwasher
1%

Aug. 12th

We're the "stone in the river." The rain clouds dissipate before they get to us on land, farther away from the Great lakes.

You can check forest fires in Ontario

Ontario Forest Fires
There have been four, to date.

You can check drought conditions in Quebec, and in Ontario.

Aug. 5th
