You don’t hear about it from the Boston forecasters or any of the media, but we here in the Northeast corner of Essex Country are living under a prolonged drought. I have been keeping weather records since 1968, and in the last 19 months (from June 1, 2024 to the present), my rain gauge shows we have received 23.18” less precipitation than the average over the last 20 years.
