What the National Weather Service wrote

Saipan and Tinian remained in severe drought (D2) through the month of March, with vegetation on plantations continuing brown, and wildfires reported across the CNMI and Guam. Saipan International Airport ended the month with 2.95 inches, while a rain gage up on Capital Hill reported 3.86 inches. Tinian International Airport reported 1.46 inches. Both islands need an inch of rain weekly to meet minimum water needs.

The wider storm

An active trade-wind/ITCZ pattern helped to limit the development or worsening of drought across RMI, FSM and ROP, especially along and south of 7N. The northern RMI, north of 7N, started to see drier conditions but remain below severe drought (D2). Seasonally dry trade-wind pattern continued for the Marianas.
