Abstract: By using the daily precipitation and daily mean air temperature data from 37 observation stations in Liaoning Province, the daily composite drought index (CI) in 1958〖KG-*2〗-〖KG-*7〗2007 was calculated. Based on this calculation, the drought process in the Province was diagnosed, and its spatiotemporal variations were analyzed. The results showed that in the Province, drought event occurred everywhere, and its frequency was most great in west part. The drought frequency was greater in May and June in whole Liaoning, and also, greater in autumn in west Liaoning. The drought days both in a year and in the growth season were increasing.
