CLEVELAND — Northeast Ohio is in need of a drink. It has been a dry period in the region for about the last month or two, plus we were way below average with seasonal snowfall. Cleveland, Akron-Canton and Mansfield all have a deficiency in precipitation for all of 2024 and also for the month of June. The last time all three cities saw above-average rainfall was in April.

Therefore, Northeast Ohio is now officially in the early stages of drought, known as"abnormally dry" conditions on the U.S. Drought Monitor. The U.S. Drought Monitor is a map released every Thursday . It tracks drought across the U.S. Using five classifications: Abnormally dry , which shows areas that may be going into or are coming out of drought, and four levels of drought: Moderate , severe , extreme and exceptional .

The yellow area expanded considerably across the East Coast, the Midwest and Ohio over the last week. On June 10th, 0% of the entire Buckeye State was experiencing abnormally dry conditions. Now, that has increased to 55% of the state experiencing abnormally dry conditions.
