Percent difference from average (1979-2020) precipitation in February 2022. Places where precipitation was near normal (0 percent difference from average) are white. Places where precipitation was up to 100 percent below average (that is, no precipitation) are brown. Places where precipitation was up to 200 percent or more above average are blue-green. The signature of the continuing La Niña climate pattern appears in the tropical Pacific: below-average precipitation in the central and eastern part of the basin and above-average precipitation in the western tropical Pacific north of Australia.
