Los Alamos Daily Post
July has come and gone. This year July was stingy with its rainfall and overly generous with the heat. It may go down as one of the hottest and driest months ever in New Mexico. Much of the United States and Europe was suffering through the same conditions.
Fortunately, the strong spring runoff has held off the worst that could happen keeping streamflows above normal and wildfires manageable. Hopefully, the monsoon rains that should have started in July will make their appearance in August. Streamflows are beginning to fall below normal. Read More

Forest Stewards Guild News:
SANTA FE — Despite wet conditions in May and early June, this summer has been one of the hottest seasons in recent New Mexico history.

Devolder: A Winning Strategy For Both Political Parties
By MARK DEVOLDER
Los Alamos
Whether you believe in global warming or not, it has been a hot, dry summer. I can remember a time when:
1) it snowed in the Jemez Mountains in September,
2) about 2 feet of snow fell in the Jemez Mountains around Thanksgiving,
3) whatever snow was on the ground in the Jemez Mountains around Dec. 10 stayed around for most of the winter, and
4) the monsoon season began around the third week in June.
With the progression of time, the weather has changed. A regulator for the State of New Mexico told me recently that New Mexico is currently involved in a thousand-year drought. Long Read More
Agave Plant In Full Bloom On Sierra Vista In White Rock
An agave plant in full bloom Saturday afternoon at a residence on Sierra Vista in White Rock. Agave plants are succulents with large leaves that end in pointy tips. Agaves have more than 250 species in the agave genus. Large specimens can grow to 10 feet or more in height and width, and smaller species can be dish-sized. A few agave species have soft leaves and no spines. Agave grows best in rocky, sandy, well-drained soil in full sun. It can take several years or even decades for agave plants to mature, and they can live for many decades overall. The plant only blooms once, then dies. Source: thespruce.com Read More
