March Rainfall and 2026 Water Level Data from Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
Lettuce Lakes may dry down by the end of April.
探花精选 staff at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary recorded 0.7鈥 of rain in March (average for March is 2.55鈥).
"We鈥檝e only received about half of the rain that we鈥檝e typically received by this time in the dry season, which runs October through March," says Director of Conservation Shawn Clem, PhD. "That brings us to 39.81鈥 of rain since June, which is 26% lower than average," she adds.
The drought continues. Over the past 17 months, only one month saw average or above-average rainfall (May 2025). Swamp water levels remain higher than one would expect from the low rainfall, but that is expected to change. Recession rates are currently high due to warm daytime temperatures.
"We expect Lettuce Lakes could dry down by the end of April if we don鈥檛 get considerable rainfall," concludes Clem. Historically, the Lettuce Lakes would dry down an average of once every five years, but this has happened more frequently in recent decades.
