Easton's Bible Dictionary - Drought

Drought [N]

From the middle of May to about the middle of August the land of Palestine is dry. It is then the "drought of summer" ( Genesis 31:40 ; Psalms 32:4 ), and the land suffers ( Deuteronomy 28:23 : Psalms 102:4 ), vegetation being preserved only by the dews ( Haggai 1:11 ). (See DEW .)
