Due to rapid urbanization and climate change, cities face hidden drought risks. A single drought index may inadequately reflect urban meteorological drought. The indicator weight combination method does not fully consider index correlation and weight. This study constructed an urban meteorological drought evaluation index system and developed the Composite Fuzzy Matter Element Meteorological drought Comprehensive Index (CFEMCI) by combining the moment estimation weighting model. Analyzing Zhengzhou City from 2000 to 2019, CFEMCI effectively captured meteorological drought events, with a probability of detection (POD) > 0.78, critical success index (CSI) > 0.70, false alarm rate (FAR) < 0.13 and failure ratio (FR) < 0.22. Most meteorological droughts were classified as Grade I (no drought), with 26% being light and moderate (Grades II-III). Droughts mainly occurred in spring, and the summer drought showed a more significantly aggravating trend. This index provides reliable urban drought monitoring and supports disaster prevention and mitigation efforts.

Skillful seasonal predictions of continental East-Asian summer rainfall by integrating its spatio-temporal evolution.
Nat Commun

Institute of Artificial Intelligence for Meteorology, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, Beijing, China.
Skillful seasonal climate prediction is critical for food and water security over the world's heavily populated regions, such as in continental East Asia. Current models, however, face significant difficulties in predicting the summer mean rainfall anomaly over continental East Asia, and forecasting rainfall spatiotemporal evolution presents an even greater challenge. Here, we benefit from integrating the spatiotemporal evolution of rainfall to identify the most crucial patterns intrinsic to continental East-Asian rainfall anomalies.

Introduction: Accurate diagnosis of the water status of fruit trees is a prerequisite for precise irrigation. Measurement of leaf turgor pressure provides a means to explore the water utilization mechanisms of fruit trees and their responses to water stress. However, there are few studies on the use of daily minimum leaf turgor pressure (Ppmax) to indicate water information in apple tree.

To construct pepper development simulation models under drought, experiments of water capacities of 45-55%, 55-65%, 65-75% or 75-85% and exposure (2, 4, 6 or 8 d) (Exp. 1 & 2), of 50-60%, 60-70% or 70-80% and exposure (3, 5, and 7 d) (Exp. 3) were conducted with "Sanying" pepper.

While there is abundant theory as to how farmers might (or should) use seasonal rainfall information on their farms, little is known about whether this information has been widely used or has had widespread benefit. In this study, we use subnational data on cropping area and yield to see if we can detect any macro-level patterns in agricultural choices or outcomes that are related to knowledge of the El Niño Southern Oscillation or seasonal forecast information in Southern Africa.

Article Synopsis
- Drought in China has worsened recently, with 78.4% of the country experiencing increasing drought severity, particularly since 2000.
- The analysis identified precipitation and temperature as the main factors influencing drought, accounting for 45.7% and 30.8% impact on drought trends across China, respectively.
- The study concludes that warmer temperatures are significantly driving drought changes, highlighting regional differences in how various factors contribute to drought conditions.
