Interactive maps from the National Integrated Drought Information System. Drought is one of many factors that can affect the intensity and severity of a fire. Dry, hot, and windy weather combined with dried out (and more flammable) vegetation can increase the potential for large-scale wildfires. Use the interactive map below to explore wildfire, smoke, and air quality data alongside drought and climate conditions. Drought can have significant impacts on water utility operation, including loss of water supply, poor source water quality, increased costs, and reduced revenues. Use the interactive map below to explore water supply data (streamflow, river forecasts, snow water equivalent) alongside drought and climate conditions. Drought can have significant direct and indirect economic impacts on the agricultural sector, reducing the water availability and water quality necessary for productive farms, ranches, and grazing lands. Use the interactive map below to explore agricultural commodities data alongside drought and climate conditions.
