Abstract:: We analyzed changes in the world and climate zones under drought over the past three decades using Mann-Kendall trend test and showed how drought changed in the globe and different climate zones. The results revealed that, in terms of amplitude, it had a larger drought-influence-area in humid areas, but arid and semi-arid areas showed a higher frequency of drought. The results exhibited a significant growing trend in the area under drought over tropical monsoon climate zone, tropical savanna climate zone, desert climate zone, humid subtropical climate zone and oceanic climate zone, while there’s a significant shrinking trend in the area under drought over the global land, humid continental climate zone, subarctic climate zone and tundra climate zone. We investigated the drying and wetting trend in globe and climate zones over the past three decades, and we found that over 20% of lands of globe were getting drier and over 20% of lands of globe were getting wetter respectively, and over 40% of lands of tropical monsoon climate zone and tropical savanna climate zone showed the significant drying trend while over 40% of lands of subarctic climate zone and tundra climate zone showed the significant wetting trend.
