The advancement of the machine learning (ML) models has demonstrated notable progress in geosciences. They can identify the underlying process or causality of natural hazards. This article introduces the development and verification procedures of a new hybrid ML model, namely Bat-ELM for predictive drought modelling. The multi-temporal standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI-3 and SPEI-6) is computed as the meteorological drought index at two study regions (Beypazari and Nallihan), located in Ankara province, Turkey. The proposed hybrid model is obtained by integrating the Bat optimization algorithm as the parameter optimizer with an extreme learning machine (ELM) as the regressor engine. The efficiency of the intended model was evaluated against the classic artificial neural network (ANN) and standalone ELM models. The evaluation and assessment are conducted using statistical metrics and graphical diagrams. The forecasting results showed that the accuracy of the proposed model outperformed the benchmark models. In a quantitative assessment, the Bat-ELM model attained minimal root mean square error for the SPEI-3 and SPEI-6 (RMSE=0.58 and 0.43 at Beypazari station and RMSE=0.53 and 0.37 at Nallihan station) over the testing phase. This indicates the new model approximately 20 and 15% improves the forecasting accuracy of traditional ANN and classic ELM techniques, respectively.
