The rainfall forecasts indicate above-normal rainfall over the north-eastern parts of the country during the summer season. These above-normal rainfall forecasts would likely have a positive impact on crop and livestock production. However, below-normal rainfall is predicted over most parts of the central and south-western areas of the country during early and late-summer seasons. Therefore, the relevant decision-makers are encouraged to advise farmers in these regions to practice soil and water conservation, proper water harvesting and storage, establishing good drainage systems, and other appropriate farming practices.

The multimodel rainfall forecast indicates above-normal rainfall for most parts of the country for all predicted seasons. Minimum temperatures are still expected to be mostly above-normal countrywide, however, maximum temperatures are expected to be below normal over most of the country during all predicted seasons.

Above-normal rainfall is expected over most parts of the country during the early-mid- to late summer seasons, which is likely to bring positive impacts on crop and livestock production. Therefore, the relevant decision-makers are encouraged to advise farmers to prepare land for planting, to practice measures such as soil and water conservation, proper water harvesting and storage, establishing good drainage systems, and other appropriate farming practices.
