Abstract Drought is a period of abnormally dry weather that leads to hydrological imbalance. assessments determine the characteristics, severity, and impacts drought. Climate change adds conceptual quantitative challenges traditional drought assessments. This paper highlights assessing in climate made non‐stationary by human activities or natural variability. To address these challenges, we then identify 10 key research priorities for advancing science improving changing climate. The focus on indicators account non‐stationarity, evaluating their trends, addressing regional differences determining physical drivers how they are changing, capturing precipitation variability, understanding aridification. Ultimately, improved will inform better risk management, adaptation strategies, planning, especially areas where significantly alters dynamics. perspective offers path toward more accurate effective management system.
