National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS): Drought.gov

The U.S. Drought Portal (www.drought.gov) is the U.S. government’s authoritative drought information website. It provides a one-stop shop for data, decision-support products, resources, and information on drought—from drought monitoring and prediction, to planning and preparedness, to applied research. The portal includes tools that can be used to view active droughts, historical data, historical and current precipitation, drought forecasts, climate forecasters, and a slew of other useful tools for planning drought-related projects.
