Affecting the grape harvest at wineries and grape growers with potential fungus. Very difficult (friends) for hay harvesting which has locally been non-existent for them— no way to cut then dry the hay to bale it. Also, excessive grass growth when too wet to cut. And super cool as you say— my friends say it is 63 at night in August, late August at that? Whoah.

Also noticing in the runup to peak of hurricane season— no storms off Africa. Peak is Labor day to 10 Sept.

Wine from this harvest likely won’t be the best, threat of fungus aside. They like a little dry weather and haven’t gotten it. Fescue is loving it, green as Ireland out there when it’s normally tinged a little brown this time of year. But, as you say, getting to it to cut it is a problem.
