Around Ithaca. If I go to https://www.drought.gov/ and look at New York state, there's only two fairly small patches of D0 (the lowest drought category) in the state; the rest is not under drought.

Overall the state is 2.56" above normal for precipitation in 2026. Tompkins County is 4.3" above normal.
