Drought conditions have worsened across almost all of Massachusetts.
The state’s Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) announced Tuesday that the Southeastern Massachusetts has entered a mild drought, which is level 1 on a scale from 0-4.
According to the EEA, Nantucket County and the Western, Connecticut River Valley, Central and Northeast regions have all worsened to a level 2, or significant, drought. The Cape Cod region was already experiencing significant drought and remained at the same level.
The conditions are said to be due to below-normal rainfall over the past three months, with August being particularly dry.
