I’m sure in your area that applies.
Right now I’m wondering if the severity of my issues was the result of fungal issues.
We got a 15 minute downpour yesterday and supposed to get rain Saturday and not dealing with 90 plus degree heat.

Yeah Upon closer inspection I had brown patch and once the heat, humidity, and dry spell hit it got me. I was late to diagnose it.ken-n-nancy wrote: ↑June 26th, 2020, 12:36 pmYeah, it's been very dry for New Hampshire. NH usually gets at least 4" of natural rainfall in June. I had been hoping for one of those downpours here on Wednesday or Thursday but they missed us.
The local town water supplies have implemented bans of all outdoor water use - not just an odd/even schedule, but no outdoor water use, even for washing cars.
Looking back through data for Bedford, NH, this year the only significant rainfall in June was 0.49 inches on June 6th.
The second half of May was also completely dry, with no precipitation since May 15th. For us to have 7 weeks in May and June with only 1 rain event of a half-inch is not good news for our local climate. Typical rainfall would have been about 6.5 inches over that period.
I've been having to irrigate more than usual, have hand-watered a few trouble spots, and am now thinking about what parts of the lawn to let go dormant to help reduce use of the well. Still keeping the lawn looking good so far, though.

Well in spring and fall the sun exposure is a huge advantage.
