California Drought: Latest figures show no changes
The latest drought numbers were released, and there’s no improvement in drought conditions as rainfall continues to elude the Sacramento area. Last week’s numbers show 1% of the state of California in Extreme Drought and 66% of the state of California in Severe Drought. Not shown in the graphic above, 99% of the state of California is in Moderate Drought, and 100% of the state of California is Abnormally Dry. Thursday morning’s numbers show no change in our drought conditions. This isn’t a huge surprise as the month of January has seen no measurable rainfall.
