The U.S. Drought Monitor shows Santa Barbara County has improved drought conditions with the rainstorms this week.
The monitor updated this past Thursday showing an improvement for most of the county from “Exceptional Drought” and “Extreme Drought” to “Severe Drought.”
The U.S. Drought Monitor categories are as follows:
- None
- D0- ‘Abnormally Dry,’
- D1- ‘Moderate Drought’
- D2- ‘Severe Drought’
- D3- ‘Extreme Drought’
- D4- ‘Exceptional Drought’
Three months ago 70% of the county was in the D3-D4 range. Today, over 90% of the county is in the D2 category.
More information can be found on the drought monitor’s website.
No, I actually go up to the lake every week and that’s what I see with my own eyes. But go ahead and poke fun. I can handle the bs.
