CONCORD — With “moderate drought” conditions persisting across 56 percent of New Hampshire and “abnormally dry” conditions remaining in the northern part of the state, the New Hampshire Drought Management Team met Thursday to discuss drought conditions and impacts in the state.
The meeting kicked off with a review of what happened in the drought of 2016, the last substantial drought the state experienced. This was followed by State Climatologist Mary Stampone providing a briefing on the latest drought conditions and forecasts, which indicated that drought will likely persist through at least the end of July.
