Central Maryland now in agricultural drought


Most of Central Maryland, incuding Baltimore and the surrounding counties, are now, officially, experiencing a moderate agricultural drought (tan on the map), according to the Drought Monitor map released Thursday by NOAA.

Portions of southern Anne Arundel County, Calvert and small sections of Prince George’s, Charles and St. Mary’s counties, are coping with severe drought (orange), according to the map.
Only Garrett County continues to enjoy normal conditions. The rest of the state (yellow)is rated as “abnormally dry.”

In all, 64 percent of Maryland is now classified as being in drought, up from 37 percent last week. About 4 percent is in severe drought for the first time this year.

Yet another reason I Love Garrett County

The state of Maryland is suffering from extreme temperatures, but Garrett County is pleasant by comparison. Upper 80’s, low 90’s with much lower humidity is the norm in the summer here. From the Baltimore Sun weather blog:

“Heat Advisories were posted once again across almost all of Maryland, with exceptions only for Garrett County and the Lower Eastern Shore. A Code Orange air quality alert was up for the entire state, noting that air pollution levels are unhealthy for sensitive groups, including the very young, the elderly and people whith respiratory or heart diseases.”
