Extended wetting and accumulated wetting hours.

We finally got some much-needed rain July 9-10 (0.65 in.), with 12.5 hrs wetting at 73º. Wetting at this temperature favors rot infections. There were 17 wetting hours last week, bringing this year's total to 276. The total for the past three weeks was only 29 hours, the lowest 3-week total since we started recording wetting hours in 1994.
