    • Seasonal forecasts indicate enhanced chances of normal to above normal seasonal rainfall totals, raising the possibility of a second consecutive favorable agricultural season for central, southern and eastern areas.
    • Vegetation conditions including rangeland are in a poor state in some areas that experienced drought last season, including south-western Angola and southern Madagascar.
    • The 2021/22 season is off to a slow start in a number of areas, including drought-affected areas.

    • Short term forecasts suggest a continuation of dry conditions through the end of November.
