Short summary
We investigate the link between European meteorological droughts and persistent year-round weather regimes derived from mid-tropospheric circulation. Using a novel regionalization based on drought synchronicity and reanalysis data, we show that regime frequency anomalies partly explain drought occurrence, especially in western Europe and in winter, highlighting both the potential and limits of regime-based drought prediction.
