A

University of Missouri climatologist says the southern part of the state

continues to experience drought conditions.

Patrick

Guinan says while July rainfall has relieved drought conditions in most of the

state, that is not the case everywhere.

“But

it’s southern Missouri,” he said. “Southwest Missouri we start to see an

intensification this dryness.”

He

says reports from farmers have shown dryness issues to be area specific.

“At

the sub-county level, one part of the country might be fine whereas another part

of the county could be experiencing severe drought,” Guinan said.
