May and June of this year ranked as the fourth warmest and 11th driest such period since 1895.
OLYMPIA, Wash. — A drought emergency was declared in a dozen counties of Washington state on Monday because of early snowmelt, a lack of spring rain and low-flowing streams.
“This drought is already harming Washington communities, businesses and farms, and it’s another sign of the damage that climate change is causing to our state,” Ecology Director Laura Watson said in the statement, adding that the state needs to prepare for a drier future. The rest of the state, including the Seattle metropolitan area, is considered to be under a drought advisory.
