@Suty
These Drought alert are not emitted by national agencies but by a global agency as explained here:

I don’t know if there are drought conditions in Italy, but a severe drought was observed this winter and still now despite recent rains in Spanish Catalonia and French Catalonia. So drought is possible in winter.

We take these data usually from national agencies that create this info and provide it to us. So I wouldn't filter them. It is better to display this, so our users aware of potential risk.
