Heating Degree Days
Heating Degree Days data was reported at 0.000 Degrees Celsius in 2020. This stayed constant from the previous number of 0.000 Degrees Celsius for 2019. Heating Degree Days data is updated yearly, averaging 0.120 Degrees Celsius from Dec 1970 (Median) to 2020, with 51 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 2.880 Degrees Celsius in 2000 and a record low of 0.000 Degrees Celsius in 2020. Heating Degree Days data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Haiti – Table HT.World Bank.WDI: Environmental: Climate Risk. A heating degree day (HDD) is a measurement designed to track energy use. It is the number of degrees that a day's average temperature is below 18°C (65°F). Daily degree days are accumulated to obtain annual values.;World Bank, Climate Change Knowledge Portal. https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org;;

Mean Drought Index
Mean Drought Index data was reported at -0.528 NA in 2021. This records an increase from the previous number of -0.612 NA for 2020. Mean Drought Index data is updated yearly, averaging -0.055 NA from Dec 1960 (Median) to 2021, with 62 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 3.402 NA in 1979 and a record low of -2.371 NA in 1999. Mean Drought Index data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Haiti – Table HT.World Bank.WDI: Environmental: Climate Risk. The SPEI fulfills the requirements of a drought index since its multi-scalar character enables it to be used by different scientific disciplines to detect, monitor, and analyze droughts. Like the sc-PDSI and the SPI, the SPEI can measure drought severity according to its intensity and duration, and can identify the onset and end of drought episodes. The SPEI allows comparison of drought severity through time and space, since it can be calculated over a wide range of climates, as can the SPI.;Global SPEI database (SPEIbase). https://spei.csic.es/database.html;;
