It is characterised by uncertainty regarding its location and duration. Recent analyses of droughts can be conducted over various timeframes using a range of mathematical methods and advancements in technology. The present study is designed to conduct a drought analysis across 31 specified observational points within Konya Province, Türkiye. The data set under scrutiny encompasses monthly total precipitation values recorded from March 2000 to February 2025, obtained from the PERSIANN system (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks). The monthly precipitation totals from the designated points were then used as input parameters for the Drought Exceedance Probability Index (DEPI). The findings indicate that the year 2006 was marked by severe drought conditions, particularly in the region encompassing Konya Province, while 2019 was characterised by wet conditions. The analysis revealed that wet circumstances were encountered more frequently, with a frequency value of 50.17%.}, number={2}, publisher={Necmettin Erbakan University}
