Backyard Almanac: "What's going on this week?" asked Larry Weber. The response? Crickets.

Summary: For June to stay on track, precipitation-wise, we'd need to get about an inch of rain per week, and that's not counting the deficit we're carrying over from May. The not-great news is that some vernal ponds are already evaporating due to the dryness. The good news? Fireflies and lady's-slippers!
