Short summary
Possible future climate change effects on dryness conditions in Poland are estimated for six climate projections using the standardized precipitation index. The time series of precipitation represent six different climate model runs under the A1B SRES scenario for the period 1971–2099. Monthly precipitation values were used to estimate the standardized precipitation index for multiple timescales (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months) for a spatial resolution of 25 km for the whole country.
