Notes

Today's test was done after several days of 30 C plus temperatures. It would be interesting to test again after the anticipated heavy rains later today. A nearby creek (Chedoke Creek) has had an advisory issued for it near Cootes Paradise due to elevated ecoli readings.
It was very quiet as far as animals and the trees are starting to look a little stressed. A family with a dog came by during my test which (yes I am blaming a dog:-) caused me to forget to pick up my thermometer.
