Rare August rain didm not put a dent in the California Drought
Despite receiving a series of thunderstorms in recent weeks, some of which have dropped rains heavy enough to trigger mudflows in some areas, California remains locked in the grip of a historic drought that shows no signs of abating anytime soon.
The storms’ overall effect on the state’s drought has been “inconsequential,” according to the U.S. Drought Monitor in its most recent report on the state of drought across the country. While they reduced irrigation demands for some crops and brought welcome lower temperatures to areas that had seen record-setting heat, the rains didn’t provide any lasting drought relief.
That’s because most of the heavy showers “fell outside California’s key watershed areas in the Colorado River basin and the Sierra Nevada [mountains],” officials with the Drought Monitor noted in their August 5 report. The showers also didn’t cover a large enough area to make a dent in the drought, and the heaviest rains never made it to drought-parched soils, thanks to high runoff rates.
