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.

Jamaica Climate provides short and long term precipitation forecasts as well as drought monitoring products that will assist in making critical decisions about the growing season for crops as well as irrigation scheduling and water management.

This bulletin is aimed to provide the public with an instrument for quantitative monitoring of drought conditions in Italy and Europe, through monthly-updated maps of the Standardized Precipitation Index, this climatic index is widely employed in order to quantify the relative scarcity or abundance of precipitation. Maps on four areas (Italy, Europe, Mediterranean basin, and CADSES area), and for the 3-month, 6-month, 12-month and 24-month time scales from December 1989 to past month, are available through the menu above (select year, month and area).

One of the climatic phenomena that most affects the country's economic activities is drought, the Meteorological National System is responsible for detecting the current state and evolution of this phenomenon. To do this, it relies on the Mexican Drought Monitor (MDM), which in turn is part of the North American Drought Monitor (NADM).

The Drought Monitor was established in Montenegro within the IPA project DMCSEE (Drought Management Center for the Region of South East Europe www.dmcsee.org, www.dmcsee.eu) co-funded by the European Union through a program of interstate cooperation in South-East Europe.

he New Zealand Drought Monitor is a system for keeping track of drought conditions across New Zealand based on a standardised climate index. The index, called the New Zealand Drought Index (NZDI), is a climate data-based indicator of drought based on four commonly-used climatological drought indicators: the Standardised Precipitation Index, the Soil Moisture Deficit, the Soil Moisture Deficit Anomaly, and the Potential Evapotranspiration Deficit. The index has five categories: Dry, Very Dry, Extremely Dry, Drought, and Severe Drought. It is presented as a map and as charts; updated daily (note, there is a two-day time delay to ensure all available data is used).

From the beginning, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was used to define the behavior of precipitation in the dry and degraded areas of Panama, using 29 meteorological stations of the national network, which was very useful to define the character of the humidity of these areas of climatic vulnerability. Currently, most of the meteorological stations of the national network (77) were introduced, chosen due to the length and control of their records, according to the period defined by the SPI calculation method. In this way, it is possible to establish the behavior of the climatology of the dry and/or humid events, according to different periods, in all of Panama.
