How this service works
Percent of a US state, county or the nation in each US Drought Monitor category D0 to D4, by area or by population, for a recent run of weekly maps.
Output
A time series of weekly drought maps for the requested geography (nation, state, or county), with each map showing the percentage in each drought category (D0–D4), either cumulatively or categorically, measured by area or population. Returns multiple weeks of data up to the requested count (default 8, max 52).
Example use cases
State drought briefing for water planners
“Pull the last 8 weeks of drought severity data for Arizona broken down by area — I need to see what share of the state is in each category from D0 to D4.”
County-level drought impact on population
“How much of the population in Harris County, Texas — FIPS 48201 — is currently affected by drought conditions? Show me the last 4 weeks on a population basis.”
National drought overview for weekly report
“Give me a national US drought snapshot for the most recent weekly map, broken down by area across all categories D0 through D4.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fittings.sh/v1/drought/severityWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, quantitative drought severity data for a specific US geography (state, county, or national) from the US Drought Monitor, especially when you need time-series comparisons across multiple weeks or need to differentiate impact by area vs. population. Prefer this over generic weather APIs when the specific question is about drought categories (D0–D4) rather than precipitation or temperature.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized state postal code returns an error or empty result
- County FIPS code not found or malformed returns an error
- Weeks parameter out of range (>52 or <1) may return validation error
- Drought data may lag real-time conditions by days due to weekly map publication schedule
- Omitting required fields like type may cause unexpected default behavior
