California Faces Significant Drought with Over Half of State Affected

Credited from: SFGATE

  • Recent data from the U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that more than 59% of California is facing drought conditions.
  • Areas affected extend from Lassen County down to the Central Valley and parts of Southern California, where conditions range from moderate to extreme drought.
  • Despite December rainfall, findings show an increase in areas categorized as abnormally dry and moderate drought across the state.
  • The end of 2023 saw a stark contrast, with 96% of California free from drought a year earlier.
  • California's reservoirs remain healthy, with Shasta Lake and Lake Oroville at 78% and 70% capacity, yet recovery from drought cycles may now take longer than in the past.
