This paper focuses on the analysis of changes in the distribution of frequency, duration and magnitude of drought for various time scales for two future time periods, 2041 - 2070 and 2071 - 2100 and compared to the reference period 1981 - 2010 under the two Representative Concentration scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Dry events are calculated and analysed according to the classification of the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and the standardized precipitation index (SPI). Estimates of future drought projections based on the SPI tend to underestimate risk, while risk of the SPEI drought magnitude increases by the end of the century, even if precipitation increases moderately.
