Hurricane Season To End Statewide Drought

Hurricane season is back and wetter than ever.

Hurricane Season To End Statewide Drought

As we all know, the rainfall in Florida has been extremely low so far this year. However, due to recent weather, the drought we were in has significantly downsized, and we are no longer as worried. Before though, the drought level had reached "extreme" and there was a statewide fire ban.

As of June 6, 2017, this is what the state of our drought problem looks like. A month ago, this is what it looked like:

Quite an improvement, if you ask me. You must be asking yourself, why the sudden change in weather? Well, June 1 initiated the first day of hurricane season for the Atlantic in the northern hemisphere. Although there hasn't been any reported tropical depressions or storms so far this June, there was a tropical storm back in April, making the hurricane season start its earliest since 2003. There have only ever been six tropical cyclones to form in April ever.

According to the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this year's hurricane season is going to be a big one. The NOAA reported that there is a 45% chance of having an above-normal season, 35% chance of a near-normal, and only 20% chance of below-normal.

Despite this, the hurricane season is still unpredictable. The El Niño normally warms the water during hurricane season, which is why there are so many storms. However, the NOAA is predicting El Niño to be fluctuating back and forth, which then causes hurricane season to be unpredictable.

As of now, weather reporters are predicting the next week to be full of thunder storms, so make sure you always have an umbrella to stay dry. It's going to be a very wet season, and hopefully the statewide drought becomes nonexistent. This may put a damper on your plans, but don't hate on the weather too much. We need the rain, and now we've got it.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
