Mapping tool of the ongoing disasters around the globe, including drought.  

FEWS NET's remote sensing products and datasets are available through the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) FEWS NET Data Portal and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center Data Portal. The products include weather forecasts and seasonal outlooks highlighting trends, hazards, and anomalies, as well as geospatial data and mapping related to vegetation, rainfall, and water use. Other useful sources of remote sensing and climate information include the Climate Hazard Group (CHG) Portal and the Climate Engine, both of which are partially funded by FEWS NET. For more information on how FEWS NET uses remote sensing data in its analysis, please visit our agroclimatology page.

The ClimatView tool enables viewing and downloading of monthly world climate data, including monthly temperature/precipitation statistics and 30-year climate normals. Data are available for the period since June 1982, when JMA started receiving CLIMAT messages.

The Latin American Flood and Drought Monitor is a powerful and versatile web-based tool that can monitor and predict periods of flooding and drought by providing up-to-date data for more than 20 different meteorological and hydrological variables, as well as allowing the user to visualize and download region-specific data.

The North American continental drought indicators are provided here to show how drought conditions change across the international boundaries as an aid in the production of the North American Drought Monitor (NADM).

The South Asia Drought Monitoring System (SADMS), established in 2014, is a weekly map of drought conditions that is produced and maintained at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). Numerous drought indices - including the Integrated Drought Severity Index, Standardized Precipitation Index, and Soil Moisture Index - have been developed to provide advanced drought monitoring and assessment information for various purposes. In tandem, these indices not only paint an accurate picture of any particular drought episode, but provide invaluable decision-making tools.

The African Flood and Drought Monitor is a powerful and versatile web-based tool that can monitor and predict periods of drought, flooding or other extreme events by providing real-time data for more meteorological and hydrological variables, allowing users to visualize and interact with region-specific data.

The EDO pages contain drought-relevant information such as maps of indicators derived from different data sources (e.g., precipitation measurements, satellite measurements, modelled soil moisture content). Different tools, like Graphs and Compare Layers, allow for displaying and analysing the information and irregularly published "Drought News" give an overview of the situation in case of imminent droughts.

The mission of the proposed DMCSEE is to coordinate and facilitate the development, assessment and application of drought risk management tools and policies in South-Eastern Europe with the goal of improving drought preparedness and reducing drought impacts. Therefore, DMCSEE will focus its work on monitoring and assessing drought and assessing risks and vulnerability connected to drought.

The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia's national weather, climate and water agency. Its expertise and services assist Australians in dealing with the harsh realities of their natural environment, including drought, floods, fires, storms, tsunami and tropical cyclones. Through regular forecasts, warnings, monitoring and advice spanning the Australian region and Antarctic territory, the Bureau provides one of the most fundamental and widely used services of government.

The Agroclimatic Observatory is a collection of maps and other figures that monitor drought at present, near furture and in the recent past. The maps and figures can be manipulated and are linked to the original data. Even if you are primarily interested in data rather than figures, this is a good place to see which datasets are particularly useful for monitoring current conditions.

A description of the current drought situation within the hydrometeorological situation in the Czech Republic is regularly published in weekly, monthly and annual reports.

INAMHI, through the area of Hydrometeorological Studies and Research, concerned about the country's Food Security, provides information for the user to establish guidelines to enable the planning of agricultural systems, and address climate variability and change. Therefore, information is made available on the behavior of the climate-soil and its influence on the crops of the three natural regions of the country, with emphasis on the variations of the moisture content in the soil through the calculation of the Water Balance (income and loss of water), analysis of precipitation and thermal conditions, as well as recommendations on agronomic practices that can help to better solve the problems attributable to the climatic conditions presented, considering the state of development of the crops.
