Comparative analysis of (a) the number of events of a drought of a particular severity (for example, a Slight Drought showing 140 events is due to the sum of 41 Meteorological Droughts, 54 Agricultural Droughts, 40 Hydrological Droughts, and 5 Environmental Droughts that caused Slight Drought) (b) the number of months witnessing an event of a drought of a particular severity (for example, a Slight Drought showing 200 months is due to the sum of 62, 72, 56 and 10 drought types, respectively, that caused Slight Drought), (c) the number of events of a drought of a particular type (for example, a Meteorological Drought showing 80 events is due to the sum of 41 Slight Droughts, 30 Moderate Droughts, 7 Severe Droughts, and 2 Extreme Droughts that caused Meteorological Drought) and (d) the number of months witnessing an event of a drought of a particular type (for example, a Meteorological Drought showing 112 months is due to the sum of 62, 40, 7, and 3 drought levels, respectively, that caused Meteorological Drought) for the study period 1982–2023.
