(2013 analysis)

Current Status of Climate Services Disaster Risk Reduction :- Warnings , Advisory Seasonal Forecast Daily weather Forecast Below to Normal Rainfall very likely during the season Potential Impacts Suppressed moisture level due to increased frequency of dry spell~ crop yield Reduced river flow discharges and water levels in rivers and dams Excessive surface runoff and elevate flood risks Outbreak of water borne diseases due to water shortage and poor sewage management Increase of the likelihood of insufficient pasture in most areas of the pastorals and agro-pastorals, drying of livestock water infrastructures Measures Good practice of environmental conservations and ensure preparedness, response, and mitigation plan are in place
