El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) can affect the increase in rainfall intensity and the number of dry days, also known as dry spells that can cause drought and increase the potential for forest fires. This study examines the effect of ENSO and IOD conditions on the joint distribution of the number of dry days and total precipitation in a fire-prone area in southern Sumatra, Indonesia. The joint distribution is constructed using rotated copulas from several families, including Gaussian, student's t, Clayton, Gumbel, Frank, Joe, Galambos, BB1, BB6, BB7, and BB8. Fire-prone areas are defined using k-mean clustering, while the copula parameters are estimated using the inference of function for margins (IFM) method. Based on the peak of joint probability density functions (PDFs), ENSO and IOD conditions had a significant effect in the dry season but had no significant effect in the rainy season. The peak of joint PDFs is getting to the dry-dry conditions when the ENSO and IOD indexes increase in the dry season. However, based on coincidence probability, ENSO conditions still influence the joint distribution between the number of dry days and total precipitation during the rainy season but not with IOD conditions. The lower the ENSO index, the higher the probability of wet conditions co-occurring in the number of dry days and total precipitation. Meanwhile, ENSO and IOD conditions significantly affect the coincidence probability between the number of dry days and total precipitation. Moderate-Strong El Niño has the most considerable coincidence probability of 68.5%, followed by Positive IOD with 62.6%. The two conditions had similar effects on the joint distribution of the number of dry days and total precipitation. Moreover, the association between the number of dry days and the total precipitation was stronger in the dry season than in the rainy season.
