It depends upon what you regard as a record. See https://mailchi.mp/541cf56a0c62/welcome-to-net-zero-britain-183842?e=99957e2afe

"According to a report from the Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences of the United States of America, the year 900 launched
the start of a dry spell so significant that scientists refer to
it as the "Megadrought." The event, which choked the Sierra Nevada
and northwestern Great Basin, lasted centuries until tapering off
around 1300. A variety of data back up this claim, but tree-ring
studies provide the best and most accurate timeline of the
catastrophe."
