A flash drought began across northeast Kansas during the month of June as hot temperatures and dry weather contributed to a rapid development of drought conditions. This drought lasted through July and into August, as the hot and dry conditions worsened throughout the month. Impacts of the drought conditions were limited during this stage, so the early period of this drought could be classified mainly as a meteorological drought. The dry and hot conditions which brought forth the drought conditions continued after July ended, causing the drought to continue into August.
