Warning: The rain deficit has reached the soil: soil moisture is below normal.
Alert: Crops and natural vegetation already show the stress.
Recovery: Conditions are recovering after a drought.
Temporary soil-moisture recovery: Soil moisture has recovered for now; EDO marks the recovery as temporary.
Temporary vegetation recovery: Vegetation has recovered for now; EDO marks the recovery as temporary.
No drought: None of the drought stages applies.
No data: No usable value for this dekad. Drawn hatched and never counted as no drought.

A dekad is about ten days; EDO publishes one map per dekad. Each municipality is coloured by the class covering most of its area.
