North Carolina Drought Still Deep | Fayetteville News

North Carolina’s drought crisis is still raging, with a third of the state in exceptional drought—the worst level—and major areas like Raleigh, Durham, and Person County still parched despite recent rain. Meteorologists say central NC is 6-9 inches behind on rainfall and needs over 16 inches in a single month to recover. While Cumberland County shows signs of relief, hope is rising with tropical moisture on the way—but the state still needs a massive downpour to truly break the dry spell.
