Tired of the heat yet?

Above normal temperatures are expected during the beginning of fall.


It's also worth noting that these unseasonably warm temperatures with the lack of rainfall has led to moderate drought across Kentucky. Please check with you local authorities on burn bans in your city.
Weather.gov

Yellow is slight drought
Tan is moderate drought

With moderate drought stage you can expect the following impacts:
Damage to crops, pastures, water shortages can began developing, some voluntary water use restrictions may be requested, and burn bans may be issued.

🌱

If you do not water your plants they may begin to die. Try watering them in the early morning or late evening to prevent evaporation. This gives the plant ample time to absorb the water.
