In recent years, a significant change has been observed in the climate characteristics of Turkey. These changes, which are compatible with the general trend of global climate change, are also felt in the Western Black Sea Basin. This paper reported on the calculation of drought indices, with emphasis on two recently developed indices, the Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) and the Stream flow Drought Index (SDI) using specialized software package, named Drin C (Drought Indices Calculator). Additionally, Drin C includes a module for the estimation of potential evapo transpiration (PET) through temperature-based methods (Hargreaves, Blaney - Criddle, and Thornthwaite) that can be used for the calculation of RDI. Therefore, in this study carried out in the Western Black Sea region, meteorological drought analyzes for1-, 3-, 6- ve 12 months were made for 3 precipitation observation stations in the provinces of Sinop, Kastamonu, Bartın, and monthly total precipitation and monthly average temperature data were used to determine the meteorological drought.
