Palmer also developed a formula for standardizing drought calculations for each individual location based on the variability of precipitation and temperature at that location.

In addition, dendrochronology has been used to generate estimated Palmer index values for North America for the past 2000 years, allowing analysis of long term drought trends.

Current global warming may make the grassland climate more unstable, giving way to desert given more fires, mild drought and erosion ; UCAR simulations based on evapotranspiration support a Palmer Drought Index lower than-15, many times more severe than Texas during the Dust Bowl.

The Palmer index can therefore be applied to any site for which sufficient precipitation and temperature data is available.

Critics have complained that the utility of the Palmer index is weakened by the arbitrary nature of Palmer's algorithms, including the technique used for standardization.

The Palmer index is widely used operationally, with Palmer maps published weekly by the United States Government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
