Driven by week after week of unusually dry weather, the federal government on Thursday classified parts of California as being back in a drought for the first time since last year.

Altogether, 9.54% of the state’s land area is now in a moderate drought, with forecasts showing no rain in most of the state for the next 10 days at least. The area classified as in moderate drought Thursday was in the Central Valley, covering roughly 10 million acres from Tuolumne County to Kern County.
