South Florida's Weather Extremes
Water Levels Remain Adequate Despite Record-Dry January
Continuing a below-average start to the dry season, January 2012 was the driest January in the South Florida Water Management District's 16-county region since recordkeeping began in 1932. Water levels remain adequate for regional water supply because of the significant boost from record October rainfall and cooler temperatures and low evapotranspiration rates typical of this time of year.
Conservation Encouraged for Coming Months
The SFWMD Governing Board has declared a water shortage warning to encourage vigilance and voluntary water conservation during the dry season. Frequent swings in South Florida's water conditions – and the drier-than-normal La Niña forecast – indicate that a return to water shortage is possible in the spring.
Year-Round Landscape Irrigation Rule in Effect
Residents and businesses should follow the agency's Year-Round Landscape Irrigation Rule, which limits landscape irrigation to two days a week, with a three-day-a-week provision for some counties. For many areas, watering schedules remain the same under year-round conservation measures as they were under now-expired water shortage restrictions.
