Some of the biggest improvements occurred across portions of the West and areas west of the Plains, where recent precipitation helped reduce drought coverage and intensity. Those improvements contributed to the significant week-over-week decline in both the percentage of the country experiencing drought and the number of people affected. Where Is Drought Getting Worse? The improvement hasn't happened everywhere. Drought worsened again across portions of Texas and Oklahoma, the Lower Midwest, Lower Mississippi River region and Southeast. These areas will need additional rainfall to produce more meaningful and lasting improvements. Recent Tropical Rainfall Has Helped Remnants of Hurricane Polo brought beneficial rainfall to some drought-stricken areas. While the moisture helped improve drought conditions in some locations, heavy rainfall also brought a flooding risk, highlighting how quickly the weather can swing from too dry to too wet.
