Figure 10

Varying drought categories observed in various stations for SPEI-1. Based on SPEI, MD occurs 91 times in Gupis during the selected time period (“January 1971 to December 2017”). In Gupis, the ND appears 385 times. MW drought category occurs 51 times in Gupis. 8 times it is observed that EW occurs in Gupis.
