The 2007-2008 Drought continues in North Carolina. Zoom in to see the individual tables and you will see that the drought increased this week, even with the beneficial 4th of July rainfall. We are in worse shape than last year (middle picture) and not as bad as 2002 (lower picture.) Remember - 2002 was the drought that started during November of 2001, when Greensboro received only a trace amount of water for the entire month of November. Also, remember that the drought took off in earnest last year during the "Dog-Days of August."
