South Asian countries have been experiencing frequent drought incidents recently, and due to this reason, many scientific studies carried out explore in Asia. In context, we review related The study initially identifies the importance of drought-related discusses types for regions. representative examples events, severity, frequency, duration are identified. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was mostly adopted quantify monitor droughts. Nevertheless, absence quantification Bhutan Maldives is great concern. Future generate a combined severity map region required. Moreover, prediction projection regions rarely studied. Furthermore, teleconnection between large-scale atmospheric circulations Asia has not discussed detail most literature. Therefore, as take-home message, there an urgent need some Asia, individual country (or region), circulation.
