California and the Southwest are firmly locked in extreme drought. The situation is just as bad as the 2012-2016 drought, and maybe even worse.
The 2020-21 rainy season is the fifth driest of the 144 seasons on record in Sacramento (only the 1912-13, 1923-24, 1975-76, and 1976-77 rainy seasons were drier).
Having two failed rainy seasons in a row is brutal. It doesn't rain in most parts of California in the summer. Fire season prospects look bleak. Violence too appears all but guaranteed this summer in the Klamath Basin.
Looking forward to rains again come November.
