I know you started a thread regarding this topic on HROT a while back. I’ve followed the drought monitor for the last 12 years. Ever since moving to Nebraska I found it weird it never rained as much. To this day, still feels like that.
the issue is: what can we do? Weather patterns are shifting and I’m sure that has to do with climate change. Forecasts are predicting “super El Niño” which means those affected by drought- in the north- are proper fuqed.
It’s kinda scary honestly

Climate change is just starting. With warmer temps things dry out faster. Food shortages will begin- how soon not sure. Just realize the current Beef prices is related to drought in Texas 4 years ago and they significantly cut their herds. Here in Iowa we have had a pretty wet spring.

Nothing more annoying than seeing rain in the forecast a week out and then 2 days later drop to no chance

And they will say that “no one knew it was coming.”

China hoax! Plus as MTG says... The US controls all those Hurricanes. So in conclusion it's all THEIR fault.

Warming air holds more moisture. That moisture has to come from somewhere. Over land, it comes from the soil and the plants. Fire risks rise. Crop failure risks rise. Surviving crops are less nutritious.

Rising temps also mean the oceans hold less dissolved gasses - picture the extra bubbles as your soda or beer warm up - meaning warmer oceans are less effective CO2 sinks. They also hold less oxygen - meaning less for fish.

We have gotten some relief in the western panhandle this month. We've gotten 5.75" to this point in May after getting less than 10" in the first four months of 2026.


The drought is due to
Chemtrails! The U.S. Navy maps shows Florida, Eastern & Western coasts underwater as well as states along the Mississippi River. This will be due to Ice Caps melting. That water has to go somewhere. Our climate’s temperatures will continue to rise & break records. The Bible mentions the climate’s heat in Revelation 7 & Revelation 16. It mentions the seas roaring in Luke 21.

It had been a typical winter here in SoCal, with some rain and such. Now, it'll go back to hardly any rain at all over the next several months and be dryer than King Tut's mummified arsehole.

We had a few good days of rain and cool temps. Good for a temporary relief but certainly could use more

My grass is starting to look like August here in Eastern Iowa. Picked a heck of year to plant a garden. A few showers will bring things back but not a good start to the hot months

This is why I put in an irrigation system for my garden.
