Massachusetts Drought Relief and What’s Next | Boston News

Massachusetts is seeing some drought relief after a soaking July, with the Berkshires and Martha’s Vineyard officially out of drought and most of Eastern Mass. getting a much-needed boost — but it’s not all good news. Large swaths including Boston, Cape Cod, and Nantucket still face Level Two or Level One drought conditions. While surface water recovered thanks to record rainfall, groundwater — which takes longer to replenish — remains critically low, especially on Nantucket, which is nearly 14 inches behind this year. Experts are watching closely to see if this rain marks a true recovery or just a temporary reprieve. Stay water-wise — we’re not out of the drought woods yet.
