Aiken experienced rainfall above average last month yet South Carolina remains in moderate drought with abnormally dry conditions statewide. Rain deficits persist year to date while topsoil sits at 68 percent. Farmers have begun irrigation early, and produce shipments to Rick's Produce have fallen as heat reduces sales. NOAA warns of an active hurricane season with 13 to 17 named storms and 7 to 10 hurricanes.
