Ordinary droughts usually take five to six months or an even longer time to develop to full strength.

Key Points: 
  • Ordinary droughts usually take five to six months or an even longer time to develop to full strength.
  • Thus, flash droughts can pose even more serious threats to urbanised areas like Hong Kong due to the urban heat island effect," he said.
  • Thus, southeast China with strong landatmosphere coupling is more vulnerable to flash droughts."
  • It is crucial to improve traditional drought monitoring systems and indicators for capturing rapidly evolving flash droughts," DrWang said.
