Short summary
This paper assesses the predictability of meteorological droughts over Europe 1 month in advance using ensemble prediction systems. It has been shown that, on average and using the most relevant method, 40 % of droughts in Europe are correctly forecasted, with less than 25 % false alarms. This study is a reference for other studies that are motivated to improving the drought forecasting.
