Drought in Missouri, October 1 to 31, 2020

Through the first 3 weeks of October, less than half an inch of rain fall across the county. With 30/60 and 90 day percent of normal rainfalls in the 25 percent or less range, extreme (D3) drought conditions developed. Despite the very dry conditions, little to no damaging impacts occurred. The primary concerns were focused on ground water and surface water where low stream flows, lakes levels and some impacts to monitoring wells occurred. Agricultural entities saw little impacts as the growing season had effectively ended and harvesting was aided by the dry weather. A pattern shift occurred during the last week of the month bringing significant rainfall and drought conditions improving to Severe (D2) drought by the end of the month. Drought continued into November and the final statement with any associated damages will occur when the drought ends.
