California is experiencing its lowest level of drought conditions since June 2011, with only 1.23% of the state considered 'abnormally dry,' according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. This marks a significant improvement, particularly in Northern California, which is now free of drought or abnormally dry conditions for the first time in more than four years. The productive winter has contributed to this positive development, with areas such as Siskiyou and Modoc Counties no longer classified as 'abnormally dry.' The data was released on Thursday, showing that only 1.2% of the state remains in the 'abnormally dry' category.
