this is the "proof" you used to back up this claim:
44.3% of the U.S. and 49.42% of the lower 48 states are in drought this week.
Up 4.2% since last week
Up 10.5% since last month
118.4 Million people in the U.S. and 114.6 Million in the lower 48 states are affected by drought this week.
Up 8.5% since last week
Up 28.9% since last month
A week does not multi-years make.
You failed to cite a source that claims that there is a "multi-year severe droughts being experienced by 90% of the entire west half of the United States"
To aid you in your quest, this is a map of the "western half of the United States"
