AGAWAM, Mass.
But some much needed rain has fallen over the last couple of weeks.
“I thought it was wonderful because we really needed it, soaked the ground so we won’t have any problems I thought it was wonderful,” said Peggy Sarno of Longmeadow.
According to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor the drought is over.
During the month of October we picked up more than 8 inches of rain and for the year we now have a rainfall surplus of almost 5 inches.
Along the Connecticut River in Agawam water levels are much higher than they were just recently.
Area rivers did rise quite a bit after the rain this past weekend and the current is still pretty strong.
