A drought is a period of prolonged dryness that can have negative effects on plants, animals, and people. Droughts can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a lack of rainfall, high temperatures, and low humidity. They can have serious consequences, such as crop failure, water shortages, and an increased risk of wildfire.
