How You Can Help Track Drought in Oklahoma
Despite recent beneficial rains, drought is on the rise once again in Oklahoma. Northwest and east-central sections of Oklahoma saw drought increase on this week’s U.S. Drought Monitor map, and overall coverage has increased from 3% of the state to more than 15% in the last three weeks. This is the fourth in a series of drought intensifications Oklahoma has seen since this larger drought episode began back in late summer of 2021.
