How this service works
US Drought Monitor percent of area in each drought category D0-D4 for the US, any state or county FIPS, with weekly history and weekly change
Output
A JSON object containing: the area label, the latest week's drought percentages broken down into none/D0/D1/D2/D3/D4 categories with valid date range and map date, an array of prior weekly snapshots for historical trending, weekly change values, the data source attribution, and any relevant notes or caveats.
Example use cases
County-level drought risk for crop insurance
“Pull the current drought monitor breakdown for Fresno County, California — FIPS 06019 — I need the D0 through D4 percentages and how they shifted from last week.”
Statewide drought briefing for water utility
“What percentage of Oklahoma is currently under each drought category right now, and has the situation gotten worse or better compared to last week?”
National drought summary for news report
“Give me the latest US-wide drought statistics — what share of the country is in no drought, abnormally dry, moderate, severe, extreme, or exceptional drought as of the most recent Drought Monitor release?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/hazards/us-drought?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official US Drought Monitor categorical drought percentages (D0–D4) for a specific geographic area — whether national, state-level, or county-level — including historical weekly trends and week-over-week changes. Prefer this over general weather APIs that lack drought-specific categorical breakdowns, and over manual USDA/NOAA portal lookups when you need machine-readable JSON for downstream analysis or automated monitoring.
Side effects
- Invalid area code returns an error or empty result — must use 'us', a valid two-letter state abbreviation, or a valid 5-digit county FIPS code
- Stale data if US Drought Monitor has not yet published the current week's release (typically updated Thursday)
- Unknown FIPS codes for territories or unrecognized regions may return null values
- Network or payment authentication failure (402 not satisfied) blocks response
