The California-Nevada Drought Early Warning System September 2024 Drought & Climate Outlook Webinar is part of a series of regular drought and climate outlook webinars designed to provide stakeholders and other interested parties in the region with timely information on current drought status and impacts, as well as a preview of current and developing climatic events (i.e., El Niño and La Niña). 

The Southeast Climate monthly webinar series provides the Southeast region with timely information on current and developing climate conditions such as drought, floods, and tropical storms, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña. 

Please join NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), the Northeast Regional Climate Center (NRCC), and NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) for a special drought webinar to deliver timely and relevant drought information and resources for West Virginia and Ohio, as well as surrounding states in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. 

This webinar will provide an update on current drought conditions in the Intermountain West (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming).

Introducing ecological drought as a scientific concept distinct from other definitions of drought, this webinar explores recent advances on the topic, including transformational drought, drought vulnerabilities, and understanding the future of low-flows.

The October 2024 North Central Climate and Drought Summary and Outlook Webinar will include a summary of past and current conditions in terms of many climate variables like snowpack, temperatures, precipitation, etc., as well as potential and ongoing impacts from climate phenomena across sectors (e.g., agriculture, water resources, navigation). 

The Southeast Climate monthly webinar series provides the Southeast region with timely information on current and developing climate conditions such as drought, floods, and tropical storms, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña. 

In August 2024, NIDIS announced up to $4 million in funding for 8 two-year projects as part of the FY25 NIDIS Coping with Drought: Understanding and Assessing Drought in a Changing Climate competition. This informational webinar will summarize at a high level the feedback on the Letters of Intent (LOIs) received and will provide another opportunity for interested parties to ask questions about the competition. 

These webinars provide the region's stakeholders and interested parties with timely information on current and developing drought conditions, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña. Speakers will also discuss the impacts of these conditions on things such as wildfires, floods, disruption to water supply and ecosystems, as well as impacts to affected industries like agriculture, tourism, and public health.

The 19th annual Oregon-Washington Water Year Meeting: 2024 Recap and 2025 Outlook will be held as two virtual morning meetings on October 29–30, 2024. 

This webinar will explore how climate change is altering aquatic flows in streams and rivers across the country. Implications of how the nexus of climate and aquatic flows may impact aquatic ecosystem management will also be discussed.

The Southeast Climate monthly webinar series provides the Southeast region with timely information on current and developing climate conditions such as drought, floods, and tropical storms, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña. 

The November 2024 North Central Climate and Drought Summary and Outlook Webinar will include a summary of past and current conditions in terms of many climate variables like snowpack, temperatures, precipitation, etc., as well as potential and ongoing impacts from climate phenomena across sectors (e.g., agriculture, water resources, navigation).

Given the broad interest and need to better understand and plan for ecological drought in the Southeast, the USGS Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center and NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System will convene a 3-day workshop addressing drought and low-flow in the Southeast. This workshop, "Drought and Aquatic Ecosystems in the Southeast: Informing drought response and ecological resilience to future low-flow events," will be held on January 7 -9, 2025, in Raleigh North Carolina.
