Description: This dataset shows the current risk presented to sites across the UK from drought, based on data collected from a 1981-2010 baseline period. Drought data is the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology's (CEH) Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) approach which as a correlation of precipitation and evapotranspiration to give a drought probability figure. The dataset shows the likelihood of a drought hazard event distributed across 5km hexagonal grids.<div><span style="font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/documents/fe7b9338-5418-486b-ac15-af2926a4f272" target="_blank">Further information about the SPEI</a></div><div><br /></div>
