Mapping the future of southern pine management in a changing world.

State Climate Offices/Regional Climatologists

Your local climatologist is a great source of information about drought as well as other weather- and climate-related data and tools for the past, present, and future. The climatologists partnering on this project are located within university departments or are housed at a State Climate Office. Each climatologist provides different resources, including:

historical weather and climate data
state-specific drought monitoring information
a map-based tool with lawn-and-garden moisture index values
reference evapotranspiration estimates
maps of topsoil moisture conditions
graphs with likelihood of big rain events

For more tools and resources, please visit their state-specific webpages by clicking on your PINEMAP state on the map below:
