The drought watch remained in effect for Eastern Maryland through July.  During the drought watch phase, there is an increase in oversight of water supply conditions and the Maryland Department of the Environment encourages citizens to become more aware of their water use and to conserve it. The hope is that voluntary conservation will cut water usage by 5 to 10 percent in drought watch areas. Homeowners, government facilities, businesses and industry were asked to reduce water use for irrigation.
July began with moderate drought conditions (level D1 on the Drought Monitor) across all of the Eastern Shore except Cecil County.  As the unseasonably hot and dry weather continued during the month, Talbot and Caroline were upgraded to severe drought status (level D2 on the Drought Monitor) on July 24th and continued at that level for the rest of the month. Fields that did not have the capability of being irrigated were suffering.  On a county weighted basis, all of the Eastern Shore counties were drier than average during July with Caroline County the driest. County averaged precipitation amounts ranged from 2.3 inches in Caroline County to 3.1 inches in Talbot County.  Normal is around 4.1 inches.  It was also the third hottest July on record for the state of Maryland dating back to 1895.
