Hungary

Hungary is 2nd most stressed of 26 observations for this point in the season, and 1st steepest fall of 26. None of its 7 crop regions is at a record low, which is the ordinary case and is what most of this map looks like in most weeks.

How bad is it, against this country’s own record

What the instruments say

The canopy is in the middle of its range, while water satisfaction and rainfall are in their worst third.

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 Hungary, 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.
