The Vegetation Health Index (VHI) is a satellite-derived metric that measures plant health across geographic regions, using a color-coded system where red and orange indicate stressed or unhealthy vegetation while blue and purple represent healthier vegetation; this tool helps identify areas where crops, grasslands, and vegetation are struggling due to factors beyond just dryness, such as temperature extremes, pest infestations, or soil conditions.

SATELLITE IMAGE: North America Vegetation Health 🌱🛰️🔴🟣 #Weather #Drought #Climate #Satellite #usaAdded:
Here's a current look at vegetation health across [music] North America.
This is the vegetation health index expressed as a percentage. Red and orange show stressed or unhealthy vegetation, while blue and purple show healthier vegetation.
The biggest stress signals are showing up across the Central Plains, parts of the Rockies, the Southwest, and portions of Western Canada.
Meanwhile, healthier vegetation stands out across parts of the Southeast, Tennessee Valley, and scattered areas of the Midwest.
This is one of those maps that tells you where crops, grasslands, and vegetation are struggling, not just where it has been dry. Subscribe for awesome satellite images.
