What moved, and when
Each square is one dekad, and its shade shows how many of this country’s crop regions stood at their own worst on record for that point in the season. Rows are ordered by how much time each instrument summarises, shortest first, because a shorter window can move sooner. That order is fixed and is the same on every country page.

What connects these rows
Nothing we can show. The driver is not identified here. This section says what moved and when. It never says because.
These 25 dekads were picked rather than derived. A shorter window changes which peak looks like the first, and a sequence visible inside a window may not exist outside it.
How bad is it, against this
country’s own record
Five instruments read together
our combination, not an observation
4th worst
of 26 years at this point in the season
The 4th 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 0.247, 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, while water satisfaction is in mid-range and rainfall is 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 can
disagree: a region can sit at a record low on vegetation while water
or rainfall sits in its best third. 37 of the 238 regions at a record low on current vegetation have water or rainfall sitting in its own best third at the same moment, about one in six. This page
reports where each one sits and does not say what caused what.
Every region of United Republic of Tanzania, 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.
