The spring drought worsened considerably across southeast Missouri as summer arrived. By the end of June, all of southeast Missouri except for the Perryville and Van Buren areas was upgraded to extreme drought. Severe drought spread across the remainder of southeast Missouri. Soil moisture deficits continued to increase. By the end of June, 80 to 100 percent of the region's topsoil moisture was reported as short or very short, and 70 to 95 percent of the subsoil moisture was reported as short or very short. Many crops were showing stress. A majority of the corn and soybeans were listed in fair to poor condition. Increasing amounts of livestock and pasture were showing stress. The percentage of pastures rated as poor or very poor was growing. Ponds across the region were drying quickly. Fire danger increased to the point where bans on outdoor burning were implemented in parts of southeast Missouri, including Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, New Madrid, and Scott Counties. A number of cities also imposed bans on burning, including Dexter, Bloomfield, Doniphan, Charleston, East Prairie, and Scott City. In the Mark Twain National Forest, open fires were prohibited due to high fire danger. Streamflows were running below normal. At Cape Girardeau, total rainfall for June was 1.37 inches, which is less than half the normal amount of 3.41 inches. The drought began in May and continued into July.

The drought which began in May worsened considerably across southwest Indiana as summer progressed. By the end of July, most of southwest Indiana was upgraded to  exceptional drought. Only Spencer County was in extreme drought at the end of the month. At Evansville, only 2.34 inches of rainfall was measured in July, which was 1.58 inches below normal. Soil moisture deficits continued to increase. By the end of July, 90 to 100 percent of the region's topsoil and subsoil moisture was reported as short or very short. Many crops were showing stress, and the situation became dire for many farmers. A majority of the corn and soybeans were listed in poor to very poor condition. Increasing amounts of livestock and pasture were showing stress. The percentage of pastures rated as poor or very poor continued to grow. Ponds across the region were dry or drying quickly. Even with the isolated rainfall from thunderstorms, fire danger remained high. Bans on outdoor burning were in place for all of southwest Indiana. Fourth of July fireworks shows were cancelled or banned in many places. Streamflows were running below normal. The drought began in May and continued into August.
