From the perspective of soil moisture, the ongoing drought is the worst in
at least the last 1,200 years, the study found, adding that the high temperatures in the past few years may have aggravated the
precipitation deficits by nearly 40 %.
[4] Thanks to a strong El Niño that brought near average
precipitation to the northern California, the statewide April 1 snowpack measurement in 2016 showed state water resources
at 87 percent of the long - term average; however, the snowpack was not sufficient to undo water
deficits caused by years of drought.
Site environmental variables in 2007 — 13: daily
precipitation (annual amounts noted); daily mean soil water content
at 30 cm below surface (SWC); daily maximum vapor pressure
deficit (VPD); daily mean air temperature over the forest canopy (Ta).
The recurring theme, though, is difficulties in conducting agriculture: drought in Central America, Pakistan, the western US or Australia, more monsoonal
precipitation extremes in India, and strengthening cyclonic storms add up to a projected net global food
deficit at 2.5 C.
