Drought in Dundy, Nebraska

Monthly precipitation amounts ranged from about three inches to just over seven inches (near normal to about four inches above average), highest over far northeast portions of the county. Normal monthly precipitation across the county is near and either side of three inches.

Mostly near to above average precipitation supported steadily improving drought conditions across far southwest Nebraska, especially for Dundy County very early in the month, and by mid to late June for Hitchcock and Red Willow counties. Near to below average precipitation prevailed across portions of Red Willow County where drought persisted the longest. D2 Severe Drought only persisted through the 1st for Dundy County, with D2 Severe Drought to D4 Exceptional Drought persisting through mid to late June for the northeast half of Hitchcock County, and through the entire month for all of Red Willow County. Monthly precipitation amounts ranged from about two inches over northern Red Willow county, to a whopping ten inches over northwest Hitchcock county. Normal monthly precipitation amounts range from about two and three-quarters of an inch over western Dundy county, to about three and one-half inches over eastern Red Willow county.
