It’s dry, but it surely has been drier. Audubon’s conservation staff has been monitoring rainfall and water-level knowledge at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary for 60 years and studies that we acquired barely greater than one-tenth of an inch of rain on the Sanctuary in November. That is six % of the month-to-month common of two inches. From June by means of November 2025, we recorded 21 % 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 ft of water on the bottom—a milestone we’ve reached in late January in current a long time, however earlier than the yr 2000, we didn’t dry right down to this stage till mid-April. Whereas December’s cooler climate helps sluggish the speed of recession, water ranges are nearing the low finish of our historic common.
