The Early Warning Information Working Group (EWIWG) presented a comprehensive overview of early warning information to the cluster partners. Here are the key highlights from the presentation.
➢ Precipitation: rainfall for the 2023/24 winter wet season, from October 2023 to March 2024, is most likely to be below average, with areas with average values. Average precipitation is most likely to occur from March to May 2024, during spring wet season. Spring rains are expected to have normal timing and distribution, with minimal adverse impact on typical agricultural activities through flooding.
➢ Temperature: above-average temperatures are likely to be recorded through June. The temperature anomalies are not expected to adversely impact the availability of irrigation water for the 2024 cropping seasons. Above-average temperatures are likely to result in an early snow melt during March to May 2024. There will always be moderate likelihood of flash flooding across Afghanistan.
➢ Snowpack. As of March 15, 2024, snowpack is below average throughout the country.
