Short summary
This study presents a data-driven framework to predict real-world drought impacts. Different modelling approaches were tested and evaluated in the United Kingdom using predictions at the time of occurrence, with the best-performing method selected for forecasting impacts months ahead. Both predictions and forecasts were validated using independent UK data and applied to Germany to test transferability. The results support early warning systems and improved drought risk planning.
