Drought in Jemez Mountains, New Mexico

Severe drought was removed from the vast majority of the zone.

April 2024 saw below normal precipitation on the whole across northern and central NM while average temperatures were still within a few degrees of normal. This aided in limiting the drying out and degradation of drought conditions. Most of the state ended up seeing no change in drought conditions with limited improvements over small portions of northern and central NM most likely due to a healthy Spring snow melting event.
