MODIS-EVI time series data from 2000 to 2009 in Chongqing were selected for this study. By the use of best index slope extraction (BISE) method for cloud elimination, analysis on the change vector of EVI time series data were conducted to investigate the EVI response on drought; then, four typical regions were selected to study the relationship between precipitation, temperature and EVI when the sever drought occurred in 2006; finally, based on the time series of vegetation condition index (VCI) and precipitation abnormity percentage, the temporal and spatial distributions of drought were studied. The results showed that, the EVI value of the summer in 2006 was significantly lower than the average EVI at the corresponding period of the other years in Chongqing. In addition, summer drought occurred mainly during the hot and dry weather. Except the southeast area, most of the other regions in Chongqing were all under severe drought.
