Rain helped, but didn’t end drought
South Hill Enterprise
WILMINGTON, N.C. -A nice downfall at the end of October seemingly helped ease drought conditions a little bit, but this year’s drought is far from over. And, overall, a couple of inches of rain delivered at the end of October didn’t do enough to belay concerns about water reserves or the droughts impact on Virginia agriculture.
The National Weather Service reported that previous to Oct. 25, nowhere in Virginia had there been rain of an inch or more since late August.
Without widespread significant rainfall, the Climatology Office of the University of Virginia reports that October was one of the driest reporting periods in 113-years of meteorological reporting.
