After A Quarter Century, California Finally Did It

For the first time in a quarter century, California has officially gone completely drought free, marking a historic milestone that seemed impossible just a few years ago. The U.S. Drought Monitor, which tracks conditions across the country weekly, shows zero drought or abnormally dry areas anywhere in the Golden State for the first time since December 2000. This remarkable turnaround comes after regular storms have steadily rolled through California since October, bringing the state to about 150% of average precipitation for this water year. Even more impressive, 14 of California’s 17 major reservoirs are now at 70% capacity or higher, a dramatic change from the severe water shortages that plagued the state for decades.

What makes this achievement even more surprising is that this season was predicted to be a La Niña year, which typically brings drier conditions to California. Instead, storms have been forming right off the coast and drenching the state from north to south with heavy, steady rainfall that has continued to replenish water supplies. While the rest of the country struggles with abnormally dry or drought conditions, California stands alone as a beacon of wet weather success. Climatologists caution that these conditions may not last forever, especially with a dry and warm period expected in the coming weeks, but for now Californians are celebrating this incredible reversal of fortune that brings hope for the future and relief for communities that have endured water restrictions for so long.
