Abstract
Although drought is a common phenomenon in Southern Europe, including
Bulgaria, it can have adverse effects on human life and economic activities
(water scarcity, reduced agricultural production, and economic losses to
agriculture). This event occurs regionally, but it can spread over large
areas. Whether it will be perceived as a hazard depends on the affected
areas and the degree of impact. The article aims to provide new insight into
the meteorological drought in the most densely populated NUTS 2 region of
Bulgaria-the Yugozapaden (Southwestern). Based on Standardized Precipitation
Indices (SPI-1 and SPI-3), its occurrence during the period 1961-2020 was
analysed in terms of duration, intensity, and magnitude. The maximum drought
