After a slow start last fall, California’s wet season ended April 1 with the Sierra Nevada snowpack measuring 110% of its historical average.

Despite some early season rain, the U.S. Drought Monitor classifies 99.48% of California as  being in drought. About 85% of the state, and all of Santa Clara County, are classified as being in a severe, extreme or exceptional drought, with reservoirs well below their historical averages for this time of year.
