For a state that receives about 58 inches of rain annually, a discussion of drought in Florida might appear to be of little relevance. But drought is a part of our climate, just like hurricanes, thunderstorms, wildfires, and tornadoes. Unlike the other hazards that affect the state, droughts can impact large areas and last for months, even years.
In South Florida we are currently under water restrictions, imposed by the South Florida Management District, that limit’s watering to two days a week in most location’s.
