Aridity Index

The Aridity Index is a measure that helps determine how dry or wet a region is based on climate data. It calculates the ratio of average annual precipitation (rainfall) to average annual temperature. A higher index value indicates wetter conditions, while a lower value suggests arid or dry conditions. This index is useful for understanding water availability, agricultural practices, and potential land use in different environments, assisting in planning and managing resources in areas ranging from deserts to more humid regions.
