On our coast, grass (not lawns) goes dormant (dead) in the summer, and begins to germinate with the first late summer or fall rains. "maybe....................it's just an early fall..............following a very cool and comfortable summer." A very good theory. let's check the data. Washington had its fourth warmest July Several cities in the Northwest had a record or near-record warm July. The average temperature in Seattle, Washington was 71.2°F, 5.5°F above normal, marking the warmest July on record for the city. July was the second consecutive month with record warmth in Seattle. Portland, Oregon had its second warmest July on record with a monthly temperature 4.7°F above normal. Below-average precipitation was observed across parts of the Northwest, with worsening drought conditions in the region. By the beginning of August, all of Oregon and Washington was in drought, with 48 percent of Oregon in severe drought and 32 percent of Washington. Below-average precipitation was also observed across parts of the Great Lakes and Southeast Louisiana had its ninth driest July on record. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/201507 Record and near-record warmth stretched from the Rockies to the West Coast and along the Southeast Coast, where 16 states were much warmer than average. California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington were each record warm for June. Below-average precipitation was observed in the Northwest, where drought conditions worsened due to both record warmth and lack of precipitation. Oregon had its ninth driest June, while Washington had its third driest. A dismal snowpack from the preceding winter also contributed to the worsening drought conditions across the Northwest, with minimal melt-water runoff occurring during the spring and early summer http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/201506

You know you're in trouble when you see the leaves on trees wilting. Wait 3 more months, and those leaves will be gone, and the grass will be going dormant. Probably nuclear winter, or excessive CO2 from SUV's, and cosmic rays from Republicans in congress who won't fall for this stupid scaremonger shit. Or maybe....................it's just an early fall..............following a very cool and comfortable summer. Or maybe I don't live where you live. In 3 months, the grass will be turning green from its dormant summer brown; the leaves that wilted have fallen off and on some of those trees, new leaves are coming out. And it wasn't a cool and comfortable summer where I live........it was the hottest summer on record. You know there is this thing called the internet............you might try exploring it and expanding your horizons.
