sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
Moderate drought conditions developed over southwest Indiana during August as a result of persistent dryness that began in June. At Boonville, which is about 15 miles east of Evansville, total rainfall during the month of August was 0.08 inches. Evansville reported 0.63 inches during the month, compared to a normal of 3.14 inches. This dry period came on the heels of a very wet first half of the year, when 24.90 inches fell from January through May. The main effect of the drought was on agriculture. Farmers anticipated substantial crop losses at harvest time. Heavy spring rains delayed planting of many crops until late May, which made them  especially susceptible to the summer drought.
