Out here, in the normally dry plains of northeast Montana, we had about 6" of rain in September. (I've been whining about it for a couple weeks now....)
They are calling for three inches overnight. The last cutting of hay is rotten in the windrow. We have some real wet places, I'm not sure how we will get the silage chopped.
Weatherchick is forecasting 3”-6” of rain in the next 48 hrs. We’ve had about 5” in the last week. If this keeps up it is gonna’ be a bear of a winter.
Just had one of the driest Septembers on record. We had .7 tenths of an inch here at home, while some places got none. We're in a moderate drought, and I've already noticed a lot of trees have had the leaves die and have dropped them. What has compounded it so has been the heat, with a record setting number of 90 plus degree days. It's supposed to change by the end of the week, with a good chance for rain. It will be a welcome relief.
I have about 20 acres of wheat that I want to sow for hay, and have been waiting for some rain and cooler weather before I do. Hopefully, that is on the way.
We need some dry weather in Iowa. If anyone is short on rain, I'd love to share.
Send it here too... Raining, AGAIN, today.. And tomorrow... I got 1/2 the lawn mowed yesterday before the next storm hit... Not sure when I'll get the other half done.. By then, I'll have to mow the FIRST half again...

That's 2 tenths more than I got in Sept. An inch and a quarter in Aug, and inch and an eighth in July. Only 10.6 inches, year to date. Tell me about 'dry'.....

In 2017 we had 3.4" of moisture from January-September. That was DRY.
Same 9 month time frame in 2019 and we are at 17.5".

We're actually above average for the year by quite a few inches, with that coming earlier in the year. Our soils just don't hold water that well, and therefore it can go from being too wet, to too dry in a matter of weeks. But, the killer here has been the hot weather and a dry wind.
Started to rain about noon and now it's 3:30 pm and we have almost 2". The creek in the backyard is the rippin' along pretty good. It's supposed to rain the rest of the day and part of tomorrow - we might actually see the 5"- 6" they are calling for.
Green Bay WI set a new annual precipitation record with 40.11”. There are still 3 months left in the year
Same here... Wettest year on record, to date.

Ditto... Only September I recall that was worse was Sept. of '66.. Only four days of sun the entire MONTH.. Reason I remember it, is that's the year my parents built their house.. The crew couldn't do a single thing nearly the whole month - only part of the framing was in place.. Roof not on..
Rained all day yesterday - finally finished the lawn an hour ago and it's due to begin raining again in a couple hours.. It's barely 50F here now and eff it - I'm going to fire up the wood stove..
I just drove back to LV from Mccall, Id. Plenty of snow and rain enroute . I don't remember seeing the west this green in Sept. in recent years. It is always a pleasure to get snowed on after a desert summer but there were still a lot of crops in the fields in Idaho.
Good luck dealing with the snow Paul. No dryer in Iowa. When it does let us get out to chop corn, we will have a ton of trouble hauling loads through the low places.
send a couple inches to central Mississippi. we haven't even tilled our deer plots up yet due to the birds eating the seed if not rained on. man, its been awhile since we have seen rain here. planning on discing up the deer plots in a couple weeks and planting. maybe by then we will get a little at least.
