  abstract = {{D}ry spells are natural hazards which have strong impacts on the environment and on many socioeconomic sectors. {T}heir evolution in the {M}editerranean {B}asin is a major issue because it is one of the most extreme hot spots of climate change world-wide. {V}ery long dry spells are defined as climatic events characterized by their location, spatial extent, duration, and recurrence. {T}his study investigates the evolution of these events during the wet season and for regional future climate projections of the {M}editerranean and {E}uropean {C}oordinated {D}ownscaling {E}xperiment initiatives (called {M}ed-{CORDEX} and {EURO}-{CORDEX}). {A}ll simulations were performed with different regional climate models and various climate change scenarios. {M}ain results are (i) an increase in the number of very long dry spells (between + 3 and + 31 events) and (ii) an increase of their mean duration and spatial extent. {T}his increase in the severity of very long dry spells may have strong socioeconomic impacts in particular for the most vulnerable areas.},
