Delaware Climate Office: Water conditions continue to deteriorate
DOVER — January marked the sixth straight month of below normal precipitation in Delaware, with equal chances of above or below normal rainfall in the next three months, according to the state climate office.
Groundwater and streamflow levels are also below normal, it said.
The dense snowfall and frozen ground affected the typical measuring methodology, the office admitted, and said once things melt, they expect to see positive numbers return.
Delaware has not seen above-normal precipitation since July 2025, it said.
