It’s dry, but it surely has been drier. Audubon’s conservation staff has been monitoring rainfall and water-level information at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary for almost 70 years and studies that we acquired barely greater than one-tenth of an inch of rain on the Sanctuary in November. That is six p.c of the month-to-month common of two inches. From June by November 2025, we recorded 21 p.c much less rain than the common for this time of yr—it’s the fifth-driest November since 1996.
The “B Gauge” at the moment exhibits two toes of water within the North Lettuce Lake—a milestone we’ve reached in late January in latest many years, however earlier than the yr 2000, we didn’t dry all the way down to this degree till mid-April. Whereas December’s cooler climate helps gradual the speed of recession, water ranges are nearing the low finish of our historic common.
