WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE From late May to the end of August 2021 the weather in central Worcester County was truly something to talk about. An abnormally cold and rainy Memorial Day weekend was the beginning of a roller-coaster pattern. Summer started off dry, and then very hot temperatures alternating with occasional cool spells managed to keep us guessing about what to expect from week to week. A constant theme was rain and more rain. Massachusetts may break the record for the wettest summer, according to various sources. As of August 25th,Worcester had the fourth wettest summer with 20.64 inches of rain. We can speculate about the effect of the see-saw precipitation, temperature, humidity, etc. on our plants, insects, birds, and other wild creatures. |
