Southwest Drought Briefing – August 26, 2023

NIDIS (National Integrated Drought Information System) hosted a Drought Briefing on the Southwest on August 22, 2023. In this article, we provide the recording of the webinar and some summary slides.

In the body of the article, there is an outline of the material presented in the webinar and the time that it is presented. The video should play if you click on it and then click again on the start button. But if for some reason it does not, simply click HERE and you will then be able to click on the start button and the video will begin. But I do not think that you will need to do that.

If the video starts somewhere other than at the beginning, you simply click on the progress bar and drag it to the left which is the starting position. The progress bar also allows you to skip over parts of the presentation that is of less interest and it will remember where you were if you watch the presentation in parts at different times.


Additional Information

 

 I am sure there was a version of the above in the YouTube but the Drought Monitor is not released until Thursday so the version in the August 22 YouTube would be a week old.

 But if you look at the changes over an eight-week period rather than the current situation, one sees a different picture especially where the failed monsoon had its impact.
