Trees, garden, grass going dormant in Southeast USA?
Uh, it's August

Trees in my yard and the neighborhood are turning yellow. Leaves are falling in droves.

The tomatoes are withering along with the cucumber plants, okra, everything else.....

Grass turning yellow as if going dormant. Flower bed plants are yellowing.

It's not been hot, in fact this has been the coolest summer I can remember, no oppressive heat like in every other summer ever.

There have been maybe seven total days without rain since May. I feel like I live in the tropics without the heat.

Wtf is going on?

Is this normal and I typically have attributed this sort of thing to intense August heat- but its more based on the location of the sun?

Or do the plants know something we don't?

Snow or ice doooom?

Been average summer here. Still cutting the grass every 2 weeks...trees are green, and it's been in the mid 90's consistently for the past 2 months or so. (so breaks, but typically pretty hot)

I've been noticing this too. Two years ago, the winter started in November. Then last year, it started getting really cold about October. This year, it didn't really warm up until mid to late May, and fall seems to have hit the first week into August.

Usually our summers are so dry we get maybe five storms between the middle of May and August with highs in the triple didgets between mid July and the end of August. It hasn't hit above 90 at all this month, I don't think, and it's rained at least three days a week all summer. My day lilies drowned and went dormant after just a week of blooming back in early July, and the trees started turning two weeks ago. Vegetable crops have been pitiful with under sized and/or split fruit, and the tomato vines have already stopped producing.

Here in the pacific NW everything is growing perfectly. We have enjoyed the best summer ever. We could use some rain for sure but....who would complain about this lovely weather? Sorry to hear about your garden.

It's been fairly hot and dry here, I'm in the SE. We have not been as lucky as others in regards to rain and such. I do believe you, OP, if not a bit jealous. ;)

Here, grass did not get as green as last year; flowers that usually bloom in spring all the way through summer either did not bloom at all or only briefly and then faded; trees seem to be doing ok, but overall, things seem very off- kilter.

Not sure OP, but it sounds like you have had too much rain and not enough sunlight. Your area plants and trees are used to lots of hot sunshine and humidity. Must not be getting enough. Might try a bit of fertilizer???

Excellent thought, fellow wolvie.

However, doesn't really explain the root problem , which is the seven total days of no rain in 4 months ....

I've fertilized accordingly
