Droughts are defined not only by their depth …
But also their duration (in weeks).

| Can you see the drought springs of 2009 and 2011 compared to today? |
Yes, the alligator holes are drying up.
But how long will that condition last?
In the springs of 2009 (Deep Wildfire) and 2011 (Jarhead Wildfire), this deep drought state lasted for 9 and 14 weeks, respectively.
So far this year, we’re just 2-3 weeks in.
