Drought conditions improve slightly in Mass.
A few rainy days this week will offer a little relief in the state’s struggle with an ongoing drought that peaked in August.
Some late-summer rain helped alleviate arid conditions in Massachusetts, though the entire state is still in some level of moderate to severe drought. Recent data from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows that as of Sept. 13, the area of the state in an “extreme drought” has shrunk to 8.7 percent — compared to 38 percent in late August.

State officials have said Massachusetts needs several months of above-normal rainfall to completely come out of the drought and raise the groundwater level.
