Show Notes
Maines ongoing drought, initiated last spring, persists despite recent rains, with all counties experiencing moderate to severe conditions. The water year (October 2024 - September 2025) saw a consistent precipitation deficit, exacerbated by hot summer temperatures. This drought impacts daily life, strains water supplies, and threatens wildfires. Farmers face significant challenges due to increased irrigation costs and reduced crop yields. As of late March 2025, Maine is nearly four inches short of the usual rainfall, and forecasts suggest drought will continue until at least June.
