| episode_narrative | Dry conditions in the later part of July continued through most of August in north and central Georgia. Rainfall deficits were generally between 1.5 and 2.5 inches for the month. Only spotty areas received heavy rain from isolated thunderstorms, which caused their monthly totals to approach normal amounts. There were no figures available to determine what impact the drought had on the agricultural economy of the state. However, according to a newspaper quote attributed to the State Climatologist at the University of Georgia, this was the among the driest Augusts on record. By using the Palmer Drought Severity Index, this places the month in the moderate to severe drought category. Rainfall amounts for the year through August were 6 to 8 inches below normal over much of Georgia. |
