Cincinnati, OH – The National Weather Service reports that the tri-state area has experienced significantly less rainfall over the past 30 days, with precipitation levels between one to three inches below normal.
According to the US National Weather Service Ohio River Forecast Center, much of the region is experiencing drier conditions than usual for this time of year. The latest data shows that the lack of rainfall is affecting soil moisture levels and could impact local agriculture if the trend continues.
Adding to the unusual weather pattern, temperatures in the Cincinnati area are expected to be 10 to 15 degrees below normal today. This cooler weather provides temporary relief from the typical summer heat, but it is expected to be short-lived. A warming trend is predicted to begin by midweek, bringing temperatures back to seasonal norms and possibly above.
Gardeners and farmers should take note of the dry conditions and plan accordingly for their crops and gardens. Meanwhile, residents can enjoy the brief respite from the summer heat before temperatures rise again.
