South Florida's Weather Extremes
Dry Conditions Expected to Improve With Arrival of Wet Season
At a joint briefing with the South Florida Water Management District, the National Weather Service released its forecast for the 2012 wet season, calling for an early start to the season and average rainfall for the coming months.
While above-average rainfall in April helped ease dry conditions in some areas of South Florida, it will take time once the wet season begins to recharge regional surface and groundwater sources. The region experienced a rainfall deficit of 5.5 inches from the beginning of November through the end of April.
Water Shortage Warning Remains in Effect
South Florida is still under a water shortage warning to encourage vigilance and voluntary water conservation. Residents and businesses should follow the agency's Year-Round Landscape Irrigation Rule, which limits landscape irrigation to two days a week, with a three-day-a-week provision for some counties. Utilizing the rule's flexibility, some city and county governments have adopted alternative landscape irrigation ordinances based on local water demands or system limitations.
