03 / 2024 REPORT
Drought monitoring requires a baseline
Available 2024 rainfall cannot establish a long-term drought condition.
NO VALIDATED SPI OR SPEI IN THIS SNAPSHOT
No data available
Historical calibration and validated PET are unavailable.
SPI-3 / 6 / 12
The configured 1991–2020 baseline is unavailable.
All current index values remain blank.
SPEI & soil moisture
ERA5-Land reanalysis was not retrieved.
No water-balance index is reported.
Agricultural exposure
No exposure area or crop loss is inferred
from rainfall without supporting evidence.
Zero and missing are different: missing indicators are shown as unavailable, never as zero.

04 / 2024 REPORT
Agricultural land is not crop yield
A 2024 fixed classification, not historical cultivated area or official production.
Classified land across governorates
Rainfed, irrigated and orchard classes · millions of hectares
What can be concluded?
Rainfed & irrigated
Separate FAO map classes,
not harvested crop area.
Orchards
A land-cover class, not
a measure of fruit yield.
Grazing-related proxy
Includes shrubland, grassland
and barren/sparse land.
Production & yield
Official figures not retrieved;
governorate values unavailable.
