Version Updates (As of September 3rd, 2019)

• Hotfix implemented to detect and correct “blank” country names in the first month of tenure for the following leaders: De Roburt (Nauru), Nakyama (Micronesia), Pashinyan (Armenia), da Costa (Sao Tome), Lini (Vanautu), Remeliik (Paulau). Hotfix will dynamically fix any problems with missing country names for future leaders.
• Coalition outcome for Belgian general election is expected to take time, so the result is uncoded as of this update. (September Update: Looks like Belgium is in for a long caretaker period. If nothing changes, expect a PM change in December 2019 due to Michel’s new commitments to the European Council).
• Updated precipitation (SPI) estimates using NOAA’s July 2019 PREC/L release (https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.prel.html).
