Drought Rainfall Definitions

Acronym: Drought Rainfall Definitions
Publisher Climate Services, Bureau of Meteorology
Created: 04 Aug 2021 𝕏
Drought is a prolonged, abnormally dry period when the amount of water is insufficient to meet normal use. To understand when droughts are occurring it is necessary to know how much water is around and how that compares to normal conditions. An area experiences a rainfall deficit when the total rain received is less than the average rainfall for that period.
