How this service works
US Drought Monitor county statistics for one US county (5-digit FIPS) and one weekly map date: percent of the county's area in no drought and in drought categories D0 (abnormally dry) to D4 (exceptional), from the USDM public API. County level only; crop-specific indices are not included.
Output
A JSON object containing the county name, state, FIPS code, map date, the timestamp the data was checked, and a breakdown of the percentage of the county's land area in each drought category: none (no drought), D0 (abnormally dry), D1 (moderate), D2 (severe), D3 (extreme), and D4 (exceptional drought). Values are floating-point percentages that sum to 100.
Example use cases
Crop risk assessment for a farming county
“Pull the latest USDM drought monitor data for Tulare County California, FIPS 06107 — I need to know what percent of the county is in D2 severe drought or worse to assess irrigation risk.”
Historical drought lookup for a specific date
“What were the drought conditions in Maricopa County Arizona, FIPS 04013, on the USDM map dated 2024-07-16? Give me the full breakdown by drought category.”
Drought severity monitoring alert
“Check the current US Drought Monitor stats for Lubbock County Texas, FIPS 48303 — how much of the county is in exceptional D4 drought this week?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/energy/drought-monitor-us-crop?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official US Drought Monitor county-level drought severity area statistics by FIPS code — particularly for agricultural risk assessment, water resource planning, or environmental monitoring workflows. Prefer this over general weather APIs when you specifically need USDM-sourced drought category percentages (D0–D4) for a precise county and week. Not suitable for crop-specific drought indices, sub-county granularity, or non-US regions.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent FIPS code returns an error or empty result
- Date not on a Tuesday or not yet available from USDM returns an error or falls back to most recent Tuesday
- USDM upstream API unavailability causes request failure
- FIPS code for a non-county entity (e.g. state-level FIPS) may not be supported
- Future dates or dates before USDM coverage period may return no data
