Agriculture and Food Security
The variability of seasonal precipitation, and the sub-seasonal statistics of these, play a key role in the quality and quantity of agricultural output.
This Maproom includes maps and analyses of seasonal statistics of historical precipitation and seasonal precipitation forecasts.
