This summer's lack of rainfall and exceedingly high temperatures have been noticed by more than Utah residents looking for relief.In its report Thursday, the Utah Division of Water Resources said precipitation this summer has been 'underwhelming for most of the state,' with soil moisture below normal statewide.Aside from this week's monsoons, the lack of rainfall over the past few months, along with the summer heat, has been a 'major issue' for Utah, the agency reported.
Currently, the state's reservoirs are 82% full, which is approximately 18% higher than normal and three percent higher than the same point in 2023.Some precipitation relief came this week in the form of monsoons that dumped over an inch of rain in some areas, but the agency says much more is needed to bring soil moisture levels to near-normal.“The state has been drying out this summer.
