For the second year in a row, drought is greatly reducing the production of corn, beans and other foodstuffs in El Salvador. The map above shows the number of days without rain since June 14. As the map shows, the most severe impact is in the east, where the rains have not been falling since June 14 in what is supposed to be the rainy invierno season. Much of the first harvest has been lost, and farmers can only hope for rain to resume so that a second planting can mature before October.
