Drought in Metro Broward County, Florida

Most of metro Broward County began the month of May in a moderate (D1) to severe (D2) drought with a small northwestern sliver in extreme (D3) drought which lingered until rainfall activity mid to late month allowed slight improvement to widespread moderate (D1) drought except for a western sliver which remained in severe (D2) drought.

Prolonged periods of dry weather across much of South Florida during the winter and spring months led to the drought conditions entering May with rainfall during the month allowing conditions to slowly improve.
