The entire state of California is drought-free for the first time since December 2000.

The U.S. Drought Monitor map shows that all of California is below abnormal dryness, i.e., drought-free. It is the only state in the country with no abnormally dry or drought-stricken areas as of Tuesday. Dryness levels run from no dryness and abnormal dryness to moderate, severe, extreme and exceptional drought.

The last time California was entirely free of abnormally dry or drought-stricken areas was December 2000, according to KGO-TV. Multiple years of strong rain and last month’s storms helped the state exit drought.

“Something that happened this year that did not happen last year — we had storms arrive right on time in October,” California State Climatologist Michael Anderson told the Sacramento Bee, referring to 2025.

California’s 17 major water supply reservoirs are also filling up as a result of the rains.

Only one reservoir, the Pine Flat Reservoir, sits below half-capacity at just 44% full. Another 10 of the reservoirs are at 75% capacity or higher, and all 17 are at a capacity level exceeding the historic average for Jan. 8, according to California Department of Water Resources data.
