Drought is a kind of natural disaster with great influence, heavy disaster and long recovery period. As Guangxi is a large agricultural region, it is of great significance to analyze and forecast the drought situation in Guangxi for disaster prevention and mitigation. In this study, the authors analyzed the rainfall in Guangxi from 1998 to 2019, and introduced the standardized precipitation index (SPI) SPI drought index to verify the applicability of tropical rainfall measurement mission (TRMM) data in Guangxi. In addition, the evolution of drought in Guangxi in the past 22 years was studied, and the trend of drought change in Guangxi was predicted. The results are as follows: ① TRMM 3B43 rainfall data have a high correlation with the measured data of ground stations, which proves that TRMM3b43 rainfall data are suitable for drought monitoring in Guangxi. ② Drought and flood disasters occur frequently in Guangxi, with a large range of flood events every 6 years and serious drought events every 2~3 years. ③ The rainfall in Guangxi is the largest in summer and the smallest in winter, and the overall rainfall pattern is “more in the east and less in the west”. ④ It is estimated that there would be no major drought and flood events in Guangxi in 2020; nevertheless, some cities would have mild floods and mild droughts.
