Rainfall has been slow to return to Ethiopia and Kenya for the March - May rains. This is a typical signal of a La Nina event,
and we are currently experiencing one of the strongest La Ninas on record. The outlook for the season is not favorable.
As the season begins to come to a close in much of southern Africa, some areas are expected to have a reduced harvest after heavy rainfall has given way to a dry spell. The most affected areas are southern Mozambique and nearby portions of Zimbabwe.
