drought

As of Tuesday, approximately 42 percent of the state is out of the drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Roughly 34 percent of the state is drought-free, while 7 percent is “abnormally dry.”

The drought-free areas are primarily in the northern part of the state, including in the Bay Area. The southern part of the state, however, remains mostly mired in the water shortage, including a portion of Los Angeles County that is still experiencing “exceptional drought.”

We still need more rain and be more careful about using the water at all time.
