Massachusetts drought conditions have worsened, affecting over two-thirds of the state and leading to wildfires and water shortages.

Severe drought conditions have more than doubled in Massachusetts over the past two weeks, affecting over two-thirds of the state. The dry spell has led to a record number of wildfires, water shortages, and reduced river levels.

While Connecticut and Rhode Island are also facing moderate to severe drought, there's a chance of drought relief with potential rainstorms later this month.
