Famine Warning Network: Afghanistan's rainy season has begun with less than normal rainfall

Elaha Tue Dec 2025 2 hours ago 6

The network warned in a report on Monday (December 7) that this situation could lead to reduced yields of various agricultural crops, particularly wheat, for the sixth consecutive year.


According to the report, the shortage of rainfall has been more pronounced in northeastern and southern Afghanistan, with precipitation levels recorded close to average only in two southeastern provinces.


The report states that from October to November, many provinces lacked sufficient moisture for proper planting to begin.


Experts attribute the current dry conditions to the "cold La Niña" phenomenon; a situation that typically causes reduced rainfall in Afghanistan and Central Asia and is likely to persist until February.


Reduced rainfall in October and November, combined with prior soil dryness, has disrupted rainfed winter wheat planting; however, irrigated winter wheat is in better condition, with its planted area expected to be close to average.


The continuation of these conditions could jeopardize the food security of millions of people; therefore, close monitoring of rainfall levels and preparedness for assistance to vulnerable areas are deemed essential.

The Early Warning Network for Famine has announced that this year's rainy season in Afghanistan has begun with less-than-normal rainfall, higher temperatures, and low humidity.
