Variables and Values
The mean July Palmer Drought Severity Index for two climate stations in Nebraska (NCDC Nebraska Divisions 5 and 8) was 1.32 equivalent to 45.3% of the 1947-1994 July conditions.
Hydrologic Conditions Index
0.55
For this period, the threshold index value is 0.29 for "normal" conditions. The current index value is greater than this and constitutes "NORMAL" conditions.
Note that for the August-September period, there are only "dry" and "normal" designations because "wet" targets are the same as "normal" targets for this period.
Hydrologic Conditions Calculation
Hydrologic Conditions Calculation: (0.464 * 0.453) + (0.404 * 0.445) + 0.061=0.451
