From the SPI03 dataset I wanted to plot two seasonal SPI curves such as SPI03 ending May (i.e. JFM) and CPI03 ending through November (i.e. SON). These are two rainy seasons in the area of my study. Local pastoral community define drought as sever when both seasons fail. I am therefore interested to find out if the seasonal SPI values supports the historical drought years as defined by the community. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Can you give me some idea how I can plot the two seasons spi value (i.e. ending May and November) on the same frame?.
