A weekly review has been released. About ninety-four percent of Florida is under a drought, with new extreme drought spots in parts of Central Florida. -
Rip currents are silent killers. These fast-moving channels of water can reach speeds of 1 to 2 feet per second, but have been measured as high as 8 feet per second. -
The drought is showing signs of expansion across the Panhandle, the only area that is not currently experiencing a drought. At the same time, other parts of the Peninsula have received only a fraction of the average rainfall so far this year—time to conserve water even more. -
About 60 percent of Florida is experiencing a drought, with the worst one affecting South Florida and worsening.
