SARNIA, Ont. - Trees in and around Sarnia are dying in the wake of unusually hot and dry conditions in the area this month.

Several trees in the city are showing signs of drought, including wilting and yellowing leaves.

Even evergreen trees are showing the strain, with their needles turning red or purple.

Sarnia usually receives about 77 millimetres of rain in August.

This year it has seen only about half that, at 39 millimetres, and the month almost over.
