The Driest March In 131 Years

May 4, 2026 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. , , , ,
This article is based upon an analysis of a climate change black swan event currently spreading across America. As of April 28th, the U.S. Drought Monitor confirmed much of the country in various stages of drought with some regions in serious condition. The Plains States and entire Southeast are trapped in various stages of unending drought. The West is another story altogether, experiencing lost snowpack like never before in history. But the most haunting number is the Palmer Drought Severity Index PDSI for March. Based on NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) data, March 2026 recorded an exceptionally low Palmer Drought Severity Index PDSI of -7.84 for the contiguous U.S.
