(Southeastern IN) – Half of Ripley County and most of Decatur County are abnormally dry, according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor map.
That’s quite an improvement from recent results, when most of Southeastern Indiana was considered to be in a moderate drought.
Recent rainfall is being credited with the improved conditions.
All or portions of Switzerland, Jennings, Jackson, Jefferson, Scott, Clark, and Washington counties are also considered abnormally dry.
The other areas of the state in that category are portions of Randolph, Jay, Delaware, Adams and Wells counties in Eastern Indiana, and all of Vigo and parts of Clay, Vermillion, Parke, and Sullivan counties in Western Indiana.
