With little recent rain and long-lasting high temperatures this summer, Cape Cod is now under a “significant drought” as the entire state begins to dry out, officials announced Friday.
“Drought is a look back on conditions over a period of time,” read a statement from Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA).
“July was notably warm in Massachusetts … [and] regions that are currently not in a drought are starting to see some indices impacted by the low precipitation,” the statement read.
This is only the beginning.
