Dear Kalpesh Borse,

I suggest you calculate indices of aridity

Article Aridity in Vojvodina, Serbia

Article Aridity in Kosovo and Metohija, Serbia

there are different aridity indices you can use some of them

De Martonne Aridity index

Erinc Aridity index

Thornthwaite Precipitation Effectiveness index

UNESCO Aridity index

Thornthwaite Moisture index

for reference paper is link is  attached

Most commonly used one is Thornthwaite Precipitation Effectiveness index. Others are Penman Index, UNESCO aridity index, etc. See following link:

tysm @ Kevin Achieng...

Could you send me your email address, I will send a paper about drought indice

Dear Kalpesh Borse,

I recommend you review the Handbook of Drought Indicators and Indices, recently published by the World Meteorological Organization and the Global Water Partnership. In this handbook you will find the description of various indexes that you can calculate based on data of precipitation and temperature.

What is the resolution of the data? 

Another index that I do not see mentioned here is the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), introduced by McKee et al. 1993

The advantage of the SPI is you can explore droughts based on different time periods, such as past 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 months. I've used in this past to understand conditional relationships between drought and conflict, and the different lags reveal different possible mechanisms.

I hope this helps!

Hi

I think KBDI is the best drought index for using in Meteorological or Agricultural Drought. If you want calculate you can use free software in

Dear Kalpesh Borse

Some of the drought indices has temperature indirectly in calculation, and others need directly. For example KBDI needs two input, directly:

Maximum Temperature and Precipitation,

SPEI needs to temperature indirectly (for calculating ET).

I refer to www.agrimetsoft.com for understanding further details and calculations with software and tools.

Meteorological drought is good way to determined drought , and Standardized Precipitation Index ( SPI).
