The U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) monthly changes and impacts are back! Check out some highlights from the September 2025 USDM:
🚨 On September 2, short-term drought conditions impacted agriculture in isolated areas of the Southeast and South regions.
🚨 On September 9, enhanced moisture, associated with Hurricane Lorena in the East Pacific, led to locally heavy precipitation and drought improvements to parts of the Desert Southwest.
🚨 On September 16, enhanced monsoonal moisture was focused across New Mexico and southeastern Arizona, sparking a 1-category reduction from exceptional drought conditions in the area.
🚨 On September 23, locally significant showers also dotted the Southwest, providing limited drought relief but triggering flash flooding. In contrast, mostly dry weather prevailed in the Northwest, Intermountain West, Deep South and along much of the Atlantic Coast.
