ABSTRACT Drought is a major concern in Turkey, significantly affecting agriculture, water resources and the economy, especially Central Anatolia region with semiarid steppe dry‐sub‐humid climate. This study aims to develop an optimal forecasting model for Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) values over various periods (1–24 months) using data from 50 stations region. It compares statistical machine learning methods, finding that algorithms, particularly Bayesian Recurrent Neural Network, outperform approaches. The results show consistent increase drought severity highlight robust performance of top models across different SPEI periods. provides benchmark future research on underscores need effective mitigation adaptation strategies. incorporation advanced such as their comparison traditional methods potential more accurate adaptive models.

Predetermining the risk of possible future droughts enables proactive measures to be taken in key areas such as agriculture, water management, and food security. Through these predictions, governments, non-governmental organizations, farmers can develop water-saving strategies, encourage more efficient use water, minimize economic losses that may occur due drought. Thus, drought forecasts stand out a strategic planning tool for protection natural resources. To achieve this aim, forecasted conditions next decade (2024–2034) at nine meteorological stations Sakarya basin, located northwest Türkiye, are examined, using historical monthly precipitation data from 1991 2023. This study uses Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) deep learning methods investigate droughts. The research confirms compatibility reliability LSTM method forecasting by comparing SPI values’ correlograms trends. In addition, maps created visually represent spatial distribution most severe expected coming years, Basin determined. contributes limited literature on forward-looking provides valuable information long-term resource management region.

The Darfur conflict, which emerged in the early 21st century, represents a multifaceted crisis driven by socio-political and environmental factors, with resource scarcity, exacerbated climate change, playing pivotal role intensifying tensions between agricultural pastoral communities. While change is typically associated adverse outcomes, an analysis of data spanning four decades (1980–2023) reveals contrasting trend increased precipitation, enhanced vegetation, decreased drought frequency recent years. This research explores potential these positive changes to mitigate resource-based conflicts foster political stability as improved conditions are posited create foundation for conflict resolution sustainable peacebuilding. present study integrates trends Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration (SPEI) examine shifts.

ABSTRACT In this study, long‐term variations of dry and wet events, large‐scale atmospheric circulation mechanisms triggering drought conditions are investigated for Türkiye. For purpose, meteorological data 92 stations used the period 1965–2020. conditions, 0.5° × monthly gridded values Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI‐1 month) 1903–2022. Later, role North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) East Atlantic/West Russia (EA/WR) patterns on regional dry/wet seasons is investigated. Synoptic causing extreme events in Aegean Region (AR) Türkiye examined using NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data. According to main results, statistically significant negative trends SPEI‐1 month observed, especially western southern (Mediterranean: MeR Southeastern Anatolia: SEAR) regions during winter summer seasons. Additionally, we have found that temperature increments lead more frequent summertime these regions, particularly July (correlation coefficient [ r ] results −0.58, −0.60 − 0.61 AR, SEAR, respectively). The impact NAO months. During positive phases Azores surface high located over eastern Mediterranean Basin causes blockage, resulting severe (precipitation AR 60% less than normal 1.5°C below normal). Conversely, (−) phases, light northerly winds transfer air from northern terrestrial as a result interaction between expanded Asiatic monsoon low.

Future climate change and its impact on drought is critical for Uzbekistan, located in Central Asia, the world’s largest arid zone. This study examines evolving intensity of events using multi-model ensembles (MMEs) derived from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 6 (CMIP5 CMIP6) simulated under Representative Concentration Pathway Shared Socioeconomic (RCP SSP) scenarios. The projections show different rates increase temperature precipitation RCPs SSPs. Projected increases are expected to reach up 2–2.5 °C SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, by mid-century. By 2080–2099, an projected 2–3 monthly mean temperatures throughout year (SSP1-2.6), a more pronounced summer 3–4 (SSP2-4.5) 4–6 (SSP3-7.0), with marked contrast conditions between mountainous desert regions Uzbekistan. Regional changes over periods relatively little variability, except FD, where notable trends found. Under SSP1-2.6 modest, whereas SSP3-7.0 substantial, some experiencing variations 10–20 mm per period. Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), calculated based precipitation, provides estimate future trends. Our results increasing aridity all scenarios mid-century, longer-term indicating stabilization around SPEI values 2100: RCP2.6 SSP1-1.9 stabilize −1.0; RCP4.5, RCP6.0, −1.5; while RCP8.5 SSP5-8.5 project −2 or less 2100. Notable differences index found lowland foothill regions. In view Uzbekistan’s heavy reliance agriculture irrigation, which sectors that be mostly affected change, our scientific basis informed policy decision-making. includes various aspects such as planning management water resources, well broader socioeconomic development country.
