After an abnormally wet spring and high snowmelt, California was deemed drought free for the first time in years last October.
The most recent map from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows that severe drought has returned to California.After struggling with devastating drought for years, an abnormally wet spring and above-average snowmelt in 2023 helped eliminate the state's drought problem. Last October, the U.S. Drought Monitor revealed that California was officially free from drought, with only scarce parts of the state classified as 'abnormally dry,' the first marker used in drought classification.
However, Tropical Storm Ileana is moving through the eastern Pacific Ocean. The storm has the potential to bring light rainfall across southern California on Sunday night into Monday, Hurley said, but the storm could lose some of its moisture as it tracks through northwestern Mexico.Hurley added that this time of year is typically very dry for southern California.
