Central FL is dangerously dry where we are - not a drop since hurricane Milton. Everything is so dry and crispy I had to put the sprinkler on the other day to try and get the grass / weeds to grow so the girls would have something to nibble on.
We are entering the dry season which means no real rain until next spring. Two years ago we went for 8 months without a spit of rain. It stresses me out when we go for so long without rain. The weather here is so drastic and to extremes, I honestly don't know why people move here. I for one, cannot wait until we can move back - once the family obligation to be here is no longer a need. Until then, it's stress through hurricanes, it's stress through the drought season, it's stress through triple digit temps and high humidity for at least seven months of the year ---- too much stress here. Can't get a garden to grow well despite best efforts with a lot of augmentation. Living on a peninsula is over rated.
