Climate Central: As the Midwest has lurched from severe drought conditions in late 2012 to record flooding during the past two weeks, the focus of the drought has shifted west, with drought conditions continuing to intensify in the West and Southwest, where many states are facing long-term rainfall deficits from up to three years of unusually dry conditions.

United Kingdom: The government's floods policy is in shambles

Guardian: The focus for now may be on the surprise freezing spell still gripping the UK, but many in Britain are already enduring the devastating impacts of flooding. As the snow melts, one certainty is that many more are going to suffer, having their homes, businesses and livelihoods threatened. It's likely to stay that way for many weeks, if not months. For in much of the country, the land is soaked, the reservoirs full, and the rivers are already at their limits. The scientists are telling us with increasing...
