3 of 17 crop regions in Honduras are at their worst on record for this point in the season. Its highest in any previous year was 3, on a recent average of 0.42.
How bad is it, against this
country’s own record
Five instruments read together
our combination, not an observation
2nd worst
of 26 years at this point in the season
The 2nd most stressed of 26 observations for this point in the season, 2001-2026, across 5 instruments read together
Every input is measured against its own record, but no source publishes this average. It is our combination, not an observation.
This value places the country against itself, so it does not rank countries against each other. Its year-to-year spread here is 0.23, and that spread differs by place, so a higher value elsewhere can be a less unusual year than this one. The rank is the comparable figure.
A reading of conditions to date. It carries no statement about the rest of the season.
What the instruments say
The canopy is in its worst third, as are water satisfaction and rainfall.
Each track is that instrument’s own 26 years, worst on the left.

Five instruments, each against its own 26 years for
this point in the season. They are shown together because they
disagree: across the regions on this site, roughly a quarter have
vegetation at a record low while water or rainfall sits in its best
third. This page reports where each one sits and does not say what
caused what.
Every region of Honduras,
worst to least
Each bar is the full spread of that region’s
previous 25 years at this point in the season. The dot is this year.
A dot at the left of a wide bar and a dot at the left of a narrow
bar are different findings, which is why the history is drawn rather
than described.
Regions in colour are at their worst on record. The
rest are placed on the same scale so a single deep region inside an
otherwise ordinary country reads differently from a country where
the whole distribution has moved.

This measurement is of the crop canopy and not of what
stressed it: heat, drought, disease and late planting are not
separable here, which is why no claim on this page names a cause.
