Use this map to understand conditions in your region:
- This map shows the status of the New South Wales Combined Drought Indicator (NSW-CDI) on a given date.
- The NSW-CDI ranks conditions over the past 12 months relative to 40 years of variability.
- For more detail click through to your local parish to see trends in the NSW CDI over time.
- Access the NSW State Seasonal Update which provides the full assessment of drought.
Drought Assistance:
- Drought support in NSW is not linked to the NSW-CDI.
- Assistance is available anytime. NSW Government stopped declaring droughts to trigger support in 2013.
