Climate change is closely related to the frequency and severity of droughts. As global temperatures increase due to climate change, evaporation rates increase, which results in dry soils, reduced snowpack, and reduced water availability for agriculture and other uses. This, in turn, leads to more frequent and more severe droughts, as well as longer dry spells between precipitation events. Additionally, climate change can alter precipitation patterns, causing some regions to experience increased drought while others experience more frequent flooding. Therefore, climate change and droughts are interconnected, and addressing climate change is an essential component of adapting to and mitigating the impact of droughts.
