Hot, dry and dusty
No rain in sight for the next week
W 052411 HEAT 03
Hot weather is stressing crops, such as this field of corn on Pretoria-Rushing Road, in Bulloch County.
Weather experts predict a normal summer for South Georgia, but if things don’t change soon, Bulloch County could remain hot and dry. According to information from an unnamed “cooperative observer” in Brooklet who voluntarily sends daily weather data to the National Weather Service in Charleston, SC, that area of the county only received .22 inches of rain in May, compared to 4.17 inches last year, said National Weather Service meteorologist Jonathan Lamb. Normal rainfall for that month in the Bulloch County area would be 3.44 inches, he said.
