The Florida Drought Continues

The Florida drought is getting worse, due to a major lack of rain across the state.

Locally, the Tampa Bay Area (more specifically West Central Florida) is the only part of the state not affected by the drought at some level, although that will likely change in the near future as we transition into summer and we really start to heat up.  Below is an image showing the percentage of the state at each level of drought, and the progression of the drought through the past year.
