NE Fl./SE Ga are in the midst of the wildfire season with a solid rainfall deficit for most areas going back to January. The deficit is nearly 7" at JIA - an area that missed out on some early April heavy rain. There are some signs for some hope - perhaps - near May 5th for more significant rain but - on average - the "wet season" doesn't begin in earnest until June.
But even the areas that had a wet start to April are hurting when it comes to overall dryness.
More than half our avg. rainfall occurs from June through Sept.:
Temps. have been well above avg. too with the only notable exception during the middle of March.
Given the warm, very dry conditions, the St. Johns River Management District has a handy web site to help with landscaping ideas that are locally suited for Fl./SE Ga. - click here.... UF also has a good site - here.
