County-level maps and time series now available on our State Climate Trackers!
This tool provides choropleth maps and time series of climate summaries based on PRISM climate data for the Western states.
Check it out!

After two years in a row with a weak monsoon, July 2021 produced well above normal precipitation across Arizona. Gridded PRISM data from our state climate trackers show this July was the 2nd wettest on record statewide. 2020 and 2019 both <50% of ave.

The effects of #climatechange are intensifying California's extremes. This graph shows that April, May, and June of 2021 were the warmest and driest April-May-June period since 1896. More info on #drought here: https://t.co/eHGwN9fbeo

#DroughtMonitor 9/26: Rapidly intensifying “flash drought” depicted here by @NOAA’s #EDDI tool shows thirst of atmosphere over parts of FL, GA & AL since August.
S. Rockies & Four Corners also drying out.

@NOAASatellites@NOAA We've partnered with fire agencies to help incorporate more drought information into fire management. NOAA's Evaporative Demand Drought Index is being used to monitor fire potential related to extended hot, dry, windy, sunny periods. #Datapalooza

We’re all fired up about the next round of today’s Twitter chat relay! 🔥
Experts will be available until 6 p.m. EDT to discuss how @NOAA data is used to study fire weather and to answer all your burning questions about it.

WRCC researchers worked with the Watersheds Coalition of Ventura County (CA) to produce a report on projected climate change for the County. Interested? Report available here: https://t.co/KksrvvAgGD
Very cool article on the impacts of atmospheric rivers in British Columbia featuring research on the relationship between atmospheric rivers and snow avalanches led by WRCC's Ben Hatchett.
