The duration of a drought can vary significantly depending on geographical location, climate conditions, and the severity of the drought itself. On average, droughts can last from a few months to several years, with some extreme cases persisting for a decade or more. In regions with temperate climates, short-term droughts typically last around six months, while in arid regions, they may extend indefinitely without significant rainfall. Overall, the average duration is highly variable and context-dependent.

One of the affects of a drought is that it doesn't rain for a long time
Droughts can occur at any time of year, although technically speaking, a drought is measured over a long period of time. Some areas that receive their rainfall in winter may experience drought in the following summer if falls are below average, while it would be opposite for those who experience main rainfalls in summer.
Famine is a time of "no food". Drought is a time of "no rain". Drought often brings on famine since lack of water will affect the production of food.
