After a rare series of storms drenched California with rain and snow during the past 10 days, several regions are now out of drought or less dry, according to a map released on March 2 by the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Prior to this week, all of California had been designated as in “extreme drought” with some areas deemed being in “exceptional drought.”
