How Dry Is It?

An animated map, available here, can tell you.

For Our Fair City, the current rating is "Extreme Drought," which is still short of "Exceptional Drought." SWNID would hate to see what "exceptional" looks like.

But for those worried that we will all starve, note that considerable chunks of the Nation's Breadbasket are well watered.

Also, per the map, the drought is affecting agriculture locally, but it is not creating a shortage of water for other uses.
