California, supplier of nearly half of the fruits, veggies, and nuts produced in the United States, is on track to experience its driest year in modern history. And though the state was lucky to have some rain this week, even a torrential storm would not be enough to fill its aquifers, replenish its soil, and save many of its crops.

(Data is collected on Tuesdays, and released the following Thursday.) As of this week, 21 of the state’s 58 counties are experiencing “exceptional drought”—including those Central Valley areas where so many of the state’s crops grow.
