The new #drought map is out, and North Carolina has improved a bit, my county in particular. Other parts of the country are still suffering, particularly Colorado. But look at California!

Was wondering how you would be with the map this week, after your snow.
Ours here in NC no longer show a region of "exceptional" over Charlotte, but the "extreme" is now covering a much larger area.

Is there an old fashioned phone number I can call to tell a human at the weather app that this "0% chance of rain" it's telling me about for today is wrong? 🤔

Since apparently Western North Carolina has decided it is May (or is it June?) already, here are some of my plants flaunting their color.
Now, could we please have some rain?

The Southeast US drought map as of today. My region of Western NC is in one of the regions of extreme drought. El Niño will not make any of this better.
Interactive, can get down to individual counties.

I saw a post yesterday with a drought map and the KC area had some color. There is no way we're in any sort of drought. We were over average rainfall in Jan and Feb. Nearly over our March average just 6 days in. It's been low and slow w/ storms in between for nearly week. Deep, soaking rain. Not all at once.
I don't think the account that posted it was intentionally being deceptive but it was another reminder to be deeply skeptic of everything.

Florida is completely covered in moderate to extreme drought. These conditions are hindering firefighting efforts in the Big Cypress National Preserve, where the National Fire has burned 35,000 acres as of March 5.

The Aseler Bridge (built between 1887 and 1890) has actually been submerged and hidden in Lake Eder since 1924.
During dry periods, which have become more frequent in recent years, Lake Eder experiences low water levels and many sunken relics, including the Aseler Bridge, reappear.

How climate change is impacting drinking water in the US
Climate change is making access to drinkable water more difficult in the United States, according to a study published in Communications Earth & Environment. Hazards intensified by climate change, like drought and flooding, threaten both the quantity and quality of drinking water across the U.S.

Oceans may be protecting the world from a global mega-drought
While drought risk is real – and rising – the planet is unlikely to dry out in perfect unison. Ocean patterns appear to act as a natural disruptor, preventing truly global, simultaneous drought across continents.
