This isn't even close to a drought. But we are looking at a projection of a hot, dry summer.

It was very dry and very hot (this summer). Last year, it was rainy and cold, and who wants to swim in the cold weather?

We tend to take summer's vitality for granted, when in actuality it is just one prolonged drought, or disease, away from decimation.

We're officially abnormally dry, but we're not in a drought.

This is a one-shot deal.

During April, we're going to turn a corner. There are signs of the dry pattern breaking.
