Current precipitation
Qualitative details about precipitation are key to understanding how current weather conditions may be influencing your observations. Rainfall intensity, duration, and timing can have a significant effect on water quality, often in ways that are not immediately apparent from numerical data alone. Including specific observations (e.g. light drizzle, steady rain, or a heavy downpour) along with related factors like pooling, runoff, or visible changes in water clarity, will help create a fuller picture of the conditions affecting the site.
