Drought in Lower Chama River Valley, New Mexico

Drought June 1, 2014 – June 30, 2014 · Lower Chama River Valley, New Mexico

The wider storm

June 2014 was warmer than normal over most of New Mexico. Precipitation was quite varied from non-existent to well below normal in the west to above normal in the east, with central areas having a mixture of near and below normal precipitation. Overall, precipitation shortfalls and resultant soil moisture deficits led to a small expansion of extreme drought conditions over far northeast New Mexico. Elsewhere, despite pockets of heavy thunderstorm rainfall, very little change in drought status was observed.
