On the other hand the condition had positive impact for improving the availability of pasture and drinking water over eastern and north eastern pastoral and agro pastoral areas of the country. ❖ After the second half of the month the rainfall amount and distribution was decline and the observed dry Bega weather condition could favor the ongoing harvest and post harvest activities in most parts of Meher rain benefiting areas. ❖ Bega is the second rainy season for the southern and southeastern parts of the country, the received rain during the month could play positive impact for improving the availability of pasture and drinking water over pastoral and agro pastoral areas. Weather outlook month of December 2018 ❖ In normal condition, during the month of December most part of the country goes under dry moisture condition and some high land areas also experiences chilly and frosty weather conditions at night and morning time. ❖ In the coming month of December the Bega season dry moisture condition is expected to prevail across the country and this may intensify night and morning time coldness and chilliness over most of the high land areas and it may lead to the formation of frost. ❖ The forecasted dry and sunny condition should be taken as good opportunity to perform harvest and post harvest activities over the place where Meher season crops are fully matured. ❖ Thus, farmers are strongly advised to use this opportunity to collect fully matured crops. The night and morning time chilly and frosty condition may have negative impact on fruit and other horticulture plants. ❖ Therefore, farmers need to be assisted by agricultural professional for effective management of chilly conditions. ❖ On the other hand, light rainfall is expected over some few parts of the SNNPR, Somali and southern Oromiya and this may be favorable for Bega season crops and perennial plants as well as to ensure the availability of pasture and drinking water for the pastoral and agro pastoral community. ❖ In line with this, Bench Maji, Kefa, Guji, Borena, Liben, Afder, Gode, and Korahe low land areas are likely to experience light rainfall. The rest part of the country be expected dry moisture condition.
