More than 43.1% of Florida is currently abnormally dry, with a higher risk of brush fires. But this is an improvement over 2020: Virtually all of the state was classified as being in moderate drought conditions in April 2020. By the first week of July 2020, however, Florida was out of the woods and only a tiny sliver of the Sunshine State was experiencing abnormally dry conditions.
