Short summary
Drought frequently affects southern Ethiopia, and inadequate rainfall data complicate monitoring. Satellite data from three sources were evaluated for accuracy, showing the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) to be the most reliable. We assessed drought severity using the standardized precipitation index, aligning results with historical drought patterns. The study emphasizes that the CHIRPS enhances drought monitoring and early-warning systems in the region.
