California is more than 91% drought-free, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, after months of non-stop rain and snow yanked the state from its direst three-year-stretch on record.
California is now free of “severe,” “extreme,” and “exceptional” drought conditions — evidence that each week the state moves further away from its drought-stricken status.
The entire Central Valley, Central Sierra, foothills, the coast and most of Southern California have exited drought conditions.
