How this service works
US drought status for water and ag-trader agents. Returns drought category breakdown by area from the US Drought Monitor, a 12-week trend, and agricultural/municipal impact.
Output
Returns a structured breakdown of drought categories (D0–D4) by percentage of area affected, a 12-week historical trend showing whether conditions are improving or deteriorating, and qualitative/quantitative assessments of agricultural (crop and livestock) and municipal water impacts for the queried US location.
Example use cases
Commodity price risk assessment
“I need to understand how severe the drought is getting in the Texas Panhandle right now. Can you check the latest drought categories, show me the trend over the last three months, and tell me what kind of impact we're seeing on livestock operations there?”
Municipal water supply planning
“We're a water utility covering Phoenix and surrounding areas. Pull the current drought status for us — I need the percentage breakdown by drought category, whether conditions are improving or getting worse, and specific details on how this is affecting municipal water availability.”
Crop insurance underwriting
“I'm reviewing crop insurance claims for Iowa corn farmers. Can you get me the drought monitor data for the affected counties, show me what the drought categories look like, and tell me whether this drought has been intensifying or easing over the past 12 weeks?”

Choose this endpoint when you need official US Drought Monitor drought severity categories (D0–D4) with area percentages, trend data over 12 weeks, and explicit agricultural/municipal impact context — ideal for ag-traders, crop analysts, water utilities, or commodity risk models that need structured drought intelligence rather than raw NDVI or precipitation anomaly data.

- US Drought Monitor data not yet updated for current week — may return prior week's data

- Network or upstream data source outage returns 503
- Invalid coordinate format returns 422
