Are you frustrated that the Drought Monitor is not accurately reflecting dry conditions in your area? It may be that they do not have any data there other than radar-based rainfall. Reports from “on the ground” can be invaluable for drawing the correct drought lines. Here is a new mobile-friendly site for reporting drought conditions in your area. You can find it at https://bit.ly/droughtreport19. You can find out more about it at SCNow at https://www.scnow.com/living/columns/article_f592d42c-c133-11e9-aa27-f7c088b46d26.html in case you want more information. It can be used across the country, not just in South Carolina.
