Southwest Missouri in midst of a 'moderate drought'!


t
Last twelve weeks!

One of the keynotes of global climate change is thought to be extremes of weather. That pretty much describes what has been going on lately. Ya think! Last year we had flooding rains and this year precipitation is down by almost 40% for the period January through May. Add that to the fact that the same period of time was more than thirteen percent warmer than average and viola – drought conditions are setting in for a spell. Weather scientists think this pattern will also persist through late August.
