Drought is one of the inseparable parts of climate uctuations that cause a lot of damage every year. Considering the effects of drought on different parts of the environment, agriculture, natural resources, wildlife, etc., its prediction can be useful for managing the crisis and reducing the damages caused by it. In the current research, monthly drought was calculated based on the standard precipitation index in several stations in the south of Iran during the years 1980-2020; Then, using the Markov chain, monthly drought was predicted for the years 2020 to 2040. According to the results, most of the stations have normal, moderate and severe drought conditions.The transition probability matrix showed that in all stations, the probability of passing from a certain state to the same state and the probability of passing from wet to dry state is high; But the probability of transition from dry to wet is low. Also, the predictive results were measured at different stations with different levels of accuracy.In addition, the results showed that the highest probability of drought in the years 2020-2040 is related to normal, moderate and severe classes, and at the level of the studied area, from class one to seven, the 13.4, 26.81, 27,74, 37.11, 4.76, 2.88, and 0.70% of the predicted months drought will happen respectively.
