More than half of Utah is now in severe drought, but it is far from the only Western state experiencing dry conditions, as drought conditions worsen across the region.
About 52% of the Beehive State is now in severe drought, while the rest remains in moderate drought, the U.S. Drought Monitor reported on Thursday. It comes as new federal data shows exactly how dry the first half of the year has been.
Utah collected an average of 4.71 inches of precipitation throughout the first half of the year, which puts the 2025 calendar year on pace to be the state’s 17th driest since at least 1895, according to data from the National Centers for Environmental Information.
We need to bring beavers back to the west en masse!!! ASAP
