ALT Diagram showing examples of partnerships in selected sectors. There is a top row of boxes, and each box shows a sector, a short explanation of the importance of partnerships to that sector, and logos of programs corresponding to an example partnership within that sector. There is a header above the two rows of boxes and text between the two rows of boxes.
Interested in learning more about Evaporative Demand (i.e., atmospheric thirst)?

After two years in a row with a weak monsoon, July 2021 produced well above normal precipitation across Arizona. Gridded PRISM data from our state climate trackers show this July was the 2nd wettest on record statewide. 2020 and 2019 both <50% of ave.

The effects of #climatechange are intensifying California's extremes. This graph shows that April, May, and June of 2021 were the warmest and driest April-May-June period since 1896. More info on #drought here: drought.ca.gov

#DroughtMonitor 9/26: Rapidly intensifying “flash drought” depicted here by @NOAA’s #EDDI tool shows thirst of atmosphere over parts of FL, GA & AL since August.
S. Rockies & Four Corners also drying out.

We've partnered with fire agencies to help incorporate more drought information into fire management. NOAA's Evaporative Demand Drought Index is being used to monitor fire potential related to extended hot, dry, windy, sunny periods. #Datapalooza
