Severe to extreme drought conditions continued from May into June, and expanded across the area through the month of June due to much above average temperatures and much below average rainfall. Statewide, South Dakota recorded its 4th warmest and its driest June since record keeping began in 1895. By the end of the month, D3/Extreme Drought was affecting much of north central South Dakota as well as portions of Lyman County, and D2/Severe Drought was affecting at least portions of all but Deuel, Grant and Codington Counties. Impacts from the ongoing and worsening drought include below to much below normal stream flows, entirely dry or very low stock ponds, creeks and marshes, and fire danger increased due to fuels that had begun to be or had already completely cured. Additionally, crop and pasture and range conditions had been rated poor to very poor across the board, grasshoppers had become a big concern around Eagle Butte, many wheat fields had been cut for silage, and cattle producers had been strained as well. South Dakota governor declared a statewide state of emergency for drought conditions, and the USDA designated several counites as primary natural disaster areas.
