Kansas
The U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) is updated each Thursday to show the location and intensity of drought across the country. This map shows drought conditions across Kansas using a five-category system, from Abnormally Dry (D0) conditions to Exceptional Drought (D4). The USDM is a joint effort of the National Drought Mitigation Center, USDA, and NOAA. Learn more.
The following state-specific drought impacts were compiled by the National Drought Mitigation Center. While these impacts are not exhaustive, they can help provide a clearer picture of drought in Kansas.
- Stock pond levels decrease
- Planting is delayed (particularly for winter wheat)
- Irrigation/watering demands increase
- Wheat and grasses are drought stressed; hay demand increases
- Fire danger increases
- Pond levels are low; habitat is poor in migratory flyways
- Wheat, corn, soybean, and hay yields are low; crops are severely damaged
- Burn bans are implemented; firework sales are banned; more grass fires occur
- Blue-green algae impacts water supply; ponds and streams are dry
- Cattle sales are high; emergency grazing is opened; corn and wheat crops fail; pasture conditions are poor
- Major infestation of locusts occurs; quail and pheasant populations are reduced; trees are stressed
- Emergency water supplies are needed; river levels are low; municipal water restrictions are implemented
- All crops are severely impacted/not harvested; ground is cracking
- Wildfires and large dust storms occur
- All aquatic species and food chains are affected; fish kills occur
- Stock pond levels decrease
- Planting is delayed (particularly for winter wheat)

Drought in Kansas from 2000–Present
The U.S. Drought Monitor started in 2000. Since 2000, the longest duration of drought (D1-D4) in Kansas lasted 248 weeks beginning on November 9, 2010, and ending on August 4, 2015. The most intense period of drought occurred the week of August 21, 2012, where D4 affected 66.93% of Kansas land.
The U.S. Drought Monitor (2000–present) depicts the location and intensity of drought across the country. Every Thursday, authors from NOAA, USDA, and the National Drought Mitigation Center produce a new map based on their assessments of the best available data and input from local observers. The map uses five categories: Abnormally Dry (D0), showing areas that may be going into or are coming out of drought, and four levels of drought (D1–D4). Learn more.
Drought results from an imbalance between water supply and water demand. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) measures water supply, specifically precipitation. SPI captures how observed precipitation (rain, hail, snow) deviates from the climatological average over a given time period—in this case, over the 9 months leading up to the selected date. Red hues indicate drier conditions, while blue hues indicate wetter conditions. Data are available monthly from 1895–present. Learn more.
In paleoclimatology, proxy climate data (e.g., tree rings, ocean sediments) can allow us to reconstruct past climate conditions before we had widespread instrumental records. The Living Blended Drought Atlas, shown here, estimates average drought conditions each summer (June–August) as far back as the year 0 by combining tree-ring reconstructions and instrumental records. Red hues indicate drier conditions, while blue hues indicate wetter conditions.
