National

These areas cover all or the majority of the Unites States. Typically the options are the Total U.S. including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, or just the continental U.S. (CONUS).

Climate Regions

To serve the nation with regionally tailored climate information, the National Centers for Environmental Information divides the country into six regions, each served by a regional climate center. To learn more about the regional climate centers, visit the National Centers for Environmental Information.

States

Choose from one of the fifty U.S. states or Puerto Rico or the District of Columbia.

2-digit Hydrologic Units (HUCs)

Select one of the 2-digit hydrologic units that cover the continental U.S. To learn more about hydrologic units, visit the United States Geologic Survey website.

Other Regions

Several regions are mapped as part of current research projects and those maps are available. The regions:

Four Corners – a combination of the Navajo Nation and Hopi lands located in the Four Corners region of the U.S.

Four Corners (States) – the traditional four corners states (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah)

Hopi – the Hopi lands located in Arizona

Regional Drought Early Warning Systems

The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) has established several Regional Drought Early Warning Systems (RDEWS) across the U.S. For more information, visit the NIDIS website.

Other Map Areas

------

There are currently other areas for which statistics are calculated, but are not mapped on a regular basis. These areas can be mapped by using the Custom Map Request form.

Climate Divisions

The U.S. has been divided into 344 climate divisions which are mainly based upon county boundaries. To learn more, visit the National Centers for Environmental Information website.

Counties

Maps can be requested for any of the counties in the fifty U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

FEMA Regions

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) divides the country into regions. Visit the FEMA website to learn more.

4-digit, 6-digit and 8-digit Hydrologic Units (HUCs)

These are smaller divisions of the 2-digit hydrologic units. To learn more about hydrologic units, visit the United States Geologic Survey website.

NWS Regions

The National Weather Service (NWS) has divided the U.S. into six regions. For more information visit the NWS website.

NWS Weather Forecast Offices

The National Weather Service (NWS) has divided each of its regions into forecast offices by county. For more information visit the NWS website.

River Forecast Centers

There are 13 River Forecast Centers across the U.S. which are managed by the National Weather Service (NWS). For more information visit the NWS website.

Urban Areas

Statistics are calculated for a number of larger urban areas across the U.S.

USACE Districts/Divisions

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has divided the U.S. into a number of divisions. Each division is divided into smaller districts. For more information see the USACE website.

National Drought Mitigation Center







The National Drought Mitigation Center’s mission is to reduce the effects of drought on people, the environment and the economy by researching the science of drought monitoring and the practice of drought planning. We collaborate with and learn from decision-makers at all levels – individual ranchers, communities, regions, watersheds, tribes, states, countries – across the US and around the world. We organize and present workshops, writeshops and other capacity-building activities, in close cooperation with local partners.
