usual. \u00a0The warmth allowed quick germination and growth of newly planted corn and brought out many flowering plants, but the dryness contributed to the expansion of drought in southern Alabama and the development of a new area of drought in southern Florida. \u00a0The next three months have an increased chance of above normal precipitation due to the El Nino, so I am hopeful that those dry conditions will go away soon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2015\/03\/march-2015-temp-dep.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone
