Means since 2000 were 49.7% dry, 32.0% drought, 18.7% severe, 7.8% extreme, 1.7% exceptional. Droughts stem from low rain and high temperature (evaporation).
Below, note Southeast US drought in 2007-8 (maps far below), North American drought in 2002-4 (farther below), and 2011-13 drought across much of the US. In 2007-8, Texas was wet and the Midwest was moister than usual. In 2002, due to the drought, North American plants absorbed 50% less CO2 than usual.
