Less than 1% of the state remained in a severe drought (D2) in far eastern Coos County and the headwaters of the Androscoggin River. The moderate drought conditions (D1) remained around 3% of the state, focused again across eastern Coos County. The abnormally dry (D0) across central counties including the White Mountains region was reduced from 21% areal coverage to 12% due to upslope influence on precipitation. The Connecticut River recorded below average flows from the headwaters to the Sugar River confluence. Overall rivers in southern New Hampshire reported near to above normal discharges, in central New Hampshire they were near normal, while in the north they remained at or below the 30th percentile. Record low streamflows were observed in the upper Androscoggin.
