Drought Information

The National Drought Mitigation Center’s May 2016 Drought and Impact Summary is now available at http://drought.unl.edu/NewsOutreach/MonthlySummary/May2016DroughtandImpactSummary.aspx May highlights: In May, a steady improvement in conditions in northern California and western Nevada led to a reduction of extreme (D3) and severe (D4) drought in these areas, but below-normal precipitation in Tennessee, northern Alabama, and northern Georgia caused an expansion of moderate drought (D1) and an introduction of severe drought (D2).
