Afghanistan's disaster management authority, citing information from international organizations, has released a weather forecast for the country from October 9 to 14 (17 to 22 Mizan). The forecast details expected conditions related to drought, precipitation, floods, and temperature across various regions.
According to the forecast, recent rainfall has improved the abnormal drought situation in the eastern and northeastern regions. However, dry conditions are expected to persist in the southern and western parts of the country, which could continue to affect agriculture and water resources in those areas.
In terms of precipitation, 5 to 25 millimeters of rain are predicted for the eastern and northeastern regions. Authorities warn that continuous or heavy rainfall could trigger flash floods. There is also a possibility of light rain in the central highlands and snow at higher altitudes.
Temperatures are expected to be 1 to 4 degrees Celsius above normal in most parts of the country. In Nimroz province, temperatures might exceed 35 degrees Celsius. This heat could pose challenges for residents and agricultural activities.
Conversely, nighttime temperatures in the northeastern mountainous regions and the central highlands could drop below zero degrees Celsius. This significant temperature fluctuation can be challenging for both crops and public health.
The disaster management authority has urged citizens, especially those in vulnerable areas, to take necessary precautions against potential risks such as floods and extreme temperature changes and to follow safety advisories.
