The state's climatologist said Monday that nine more Georgia counties have been designated as in "extreme drought". That now brings the total to 104 counties in Georgia.
David Stooksbury says routine temperatures of between 100 to 105 degrees should be expected for much of the state this summer if dry conditions persist. Without rain from tropical storms in July and August, he says there's little hope for the drought to be broken. Aside from the 104 counties in "extreme drought", another 38 are labeled as in "severe drought".
