Dry as a dingo's donger

It is so dry up here. We've had less than 2 inches of rain since 26 June. We had an avalanche of rain in the first few months and now a very dry winter and spring. Just for the record:
January 123mm 4.9 inches
February 184mm 7.4 inches
March 176mm 7 inches
April 164mm 6.5 inches
May 350mm 14 inches
June 98mm 3.9 inches
July 33mm 1.4 inches
August 5.5mm
September (to 26th) 7.5mm

Our lawns are browning and dusty amd we have had to spend a lot of time watering all our plantings. Today's been very windy but luckily no dust for us today. We are moving into our storm season so I'm hoping we get some mild rain and not too much hail and brimstone.
Post Script: at about 3.00pm the dust started a'blowin....nowhere near as bad as Wednesday but dusty and hazy nevertheless...
