Drought conditions in Florida
This is the latest drought map in this publication, effective 2026-10-13; it is not a live report.
33 of 67 counties have moderate drought (D1) or worse covering at least 1% of county area. The previous map, 2026-10-06, had 45 such counties.
County counts by highest category covering at least 1%: None: 19 · D0: 15 · D1: 17 · D2: 16 · D3: 0 · D4: 0. These are county counts, not percentages of state land or population. D0 means abnormally dry, not drought.
- Miami-Dade County — D1 or worse: 71.27% of county area
- Hillsborough County — D1 or worse: 79.02% of county area

Florida river-gauge histories
Explore daily flow readings and history at 362 named USGS gauges in Florida. These are individual monitoring sites, not a complete inventory or a river-wide water-health score. Check the gauge location, date and source notes. Flow does not establish drinking-water safety or supply to a home.

Florida water planning
Water planning in Florida
State planning records and permits describe supply and management decisions. They are separate from measurements of current conditions.
