phenomenon

Drought

Nature

A named lasting shortage of water relative to need. Not heatwave as hot days alone, and not published flood as excess water.

  • Drought appears in Astrology.

    Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos treats drought among annual weather and crop outcomes of judicial astrology. A named drought in that handbook, not dryness the quality alone and not a famine-myth dump.

    from Claudius Ptolemy · Tetrabiblos, c. 150 CE
