Well-distributed May-September rainfall continues to benefit crop conditions and water resources across many parts of the
Sahel and Gulf of Guinea countries. However, marginal rainfall in parts of central and northeastern Nigeria in the last month
has become increasingly below-average for this time of the season.

conditions continue to worsen for many parts of Ethiopia and Kenya.
