May was one of the driest months on record for Alabama, and unless the state gets higher than normal rainfall in coming weeks, drought conditions will remain for some time. So far this year, Montgomery has recorded only about 51 percent of its normal rainfall, leaving a shortfall of more than a foot of rain. Normal rainfall for the year through Tuesday would be 25.14 inches, but Montgomery had seen only 12.81 inches. (That compares to 18.4 inches in Montgomery at this point last year.) Most of Alabama north of Clanton is suffering through extreme drought conditions. Birmingham, for instance, has received only 41 percent of its normal rainfall so far this year, and Tuscaloosa just 32 percent. Thus the chances for wildfires are severe, and it is important to avoid outside burning completely. Do not drive vehicles with hot exhaust pipes or mufflers into high grass or weeds. Report anyone doing outdoor burning until conditions ease. Source: www.montgomeryadvertiser.com
