Reply to comment by bravnot in Why California is still in drought despite heavy rain and snow by bogdanelcs

You're misusing the terms "accurate" and "incorrect". "Out of date" is the term you are looking for.

The article was published March 2, and a long article like this may very well have taken a couple weeks to write, illustrate, fact-check, and edit, which might explain the use of older data.

Yeah you're right, it's accurate up to the date it was collected but it's meaningless and out of date now.

The article covers the progression of droughts from 2000 to 2022. Only a small portion of what is said in the article can be discounted due to the recent storms. And that's frankly only if drought conditions don't immediately return within a few months.
