Recent Rainfall Lifts Massachusetts Out of Drought Recent flooding in Western Massachusetts underscores the rapidly changing climate

BOSTON - Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Rebecca Tepper today declared drought conditions return to normal following above-normal rainfall for the month of June.

 

All seven regions are at a Level 0-Normal Conditions, including the Western and Cape Cod Regions, which were previously declared at a Level-1 Mild Drought.

 

The declarations are the result of a recommendation issued from a recent meeting of the Drought Management Task Force <https://www.mass.gov/orgs/drought-management-task-force>, comprised of state and federal officials and other entities.
