The drought conditions continued to worsen over Georgia through October, with all of north and a majority of central Georgia in D2 Severe to D4 Exceptional drought conditions. By the end of October the Exceptional drought spread to include 33 counties. North and central Georgia received 25 percent or less of the normal precipitation for the month, with many locations observing no rain for the entire period. The area was so dry, in fact, that Atlanta began a record-breaking 43 days of no measurable rainfall in mid-October. The previous record was in 1884. The rainfall deficit for the previous six months worsened to 11 to 14 inches below normal across north and central Georgia.
The D2 Severe to D4 Extreme drought conditions encompassed an area north and west of a line from Cordele, to Sandersville, to Warrenton. The drought continued to persist through the end of the year, spreading to include most of Georgia, and peaking in November.
