Much of Southeast Kansas Experiencing Exceptional Drought

 

The most recent map of drought intensity across the region shows that a greater portion of Southeast Kansas has moved into the most severe D4 category.

 

Montgomery County has stayed mostly in the D3 over the past month, but surrounding counties of Wilson, Labette, and Chautauqua have all seen an increase in D4 levels.

 

The common effects of a D4 drought are severely impacted crops, wildfires, large dust storms, and death of fish and other aquatic species. Nearly 56% of the state of Kansas is in D3, with 35% in D4.

 

Kansas has the highest D4 levels of any state in the U.S.
