Due to the great risk for both agriculture and livestock related with the frequency, length and intensity of droughts, the forecast of these events should let to quantify, manage and reduce their impact. To this aim, the Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) and the lag 1 Standardized Precipitation - Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) are obtained each month which can be used in addition with the meteorological parameters provided in S1-P02 and the Crop Yield Forecast (S2-P03) for many applications, scientific studies and assessments, helping decision makers on the definition of proper adaptation measures to ensure food security and environmental sustainability.
