No reason to worry about drought (… yet).
Wetland depths are at (or near) their annual peak.

| This chart shows KBDI drought readings (current, a month ago, a year ago, and normal) for various parts of Florida for September 15th. |
But arrival of the peak also means the end is near:
South Florida’s rainy season has about four weeks left.
 |
| It’s unusual for the Everglades drought index to be so high in September, but for the panhandle it’s actually the norm. |
From that point forward wetland levels start to drop.
Compare that to fall in the panhandle where its normally dry.
