U.S. map showing what percent of normal precipitation was received in May 2024

This map shows May 2024 precipitation (total rain and snow) received across the United States as percent of normal (1991-2020 average). Note that parts of the Southwest receive very little precipitation in May on average, so even a little less than usual precipitation can look like a severe deficit.
