Drought in Pearl River, Mississippi

Drought March 1, 2026 – March 31, 2026 · Pearl River, Mississippi

What the National Weather Service wrote

Long term D2 drought persisted through the whole month of March for portions of Pearl River County according to the US Drought Monitor.

The wider storm

Severe drought conditions (D2'D4) continued from February through the month of March across portions of the New Orleans/Baton Rouge WFO area. Those conditions were driven by persistent precipitation deficits and limited meaningful rainfall events. Although several inches of rain did fall over the region, most did not fall where drought conditions existed. The only appreciable change in March was an expansion of D2 to include all of the Coastal Mississippi counties.
