What is a Drought?
DROUGHT
From the end of April to September in the land of Judaea is "the drought of summer." The grass is sometimes completely withered, Ps 102:4, and all the land and the creatures upon it suffer, and nothing but the copious dew of the night preserves the life of any living thing. Hag 1:11. The heat is at times excessive. Near Cana, in Galilee, in July, the thermometer, in a gloomy recess under ground, perfectly shaded, stood at 100° Fahrenheit at noon. For a more full account of the climate, see Palestine.
