The Combined Drought Index (CDI) viewer compiles drought-indicator maps used in European and Australian drought monitoring practice, adapted here for regional agricultural drought watch. On Platform tools the same viewer is labeled ECDI.
-
Open Drought Monitoring
On Disaster Mapping, open Drought Monitoring. You can also start from Platform tools → Drought Tools → ECDI.
-
Choose region, month, and year
Load the CDI layer for the period you need. Compare consecutive months to see whether dryness is spreading or easing.
-
Cross-check with other tools
Pair CDI with Climate Info rainfall, SARAI / PAGASA AWS, and NDVI trends. A drought index is a signal, not a harvest forecast by itself.
The Drought Tools dialog also links a Google Earth Engine drought applet for interactive visualization outside the CDI list. Use it when you need to pan and inspect a period that is not in the saved map list.
