This Analysis tool allows users to view different presentations of the most recent
dekad.
The monthly Standardized Precipitation Index is an indicator of extreme rainfall events,
whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
The seasonal Standardized Precipitation Index is an indicator of extreme rainfall
events, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
