About DroughtCentral
DroughtCentral is a drought observatory run by CNR IBE. It publishes drought condition updates and monthly bulletins based on Copernicus data. The bulletins cover temperature and rainfall patterns, river flows, large lake levels, reservoir levels, and seasonal forecasts, with a focus on Europe and Italy. The site also hosts a Drought WebGIS for mapping and comparing drought indices, and the Drought Scan, an operational climate service for drought assessment at river-basin scale.
Some content is available only in Italian. The Drought WebGIS notes that the TCI and VHI vegetation indices are available only until 9 November 2022, because of problems with the Terra MODIS satellite.
