FAR NORTH REGION
NORTH REGION
This period will be marked by a risk of recording:
- Destruction of electrical power transmission and regulation infrastructure (poles, cables, transformers, etc.) in the North region, the southern and central parts of the Far North region, due to heavy rainfall, accompanied by violent winds and lightning, as well as falling trees;
- Injury and trauma due to lightning strikes during the rainy periods that characterise the onset of the rainy season in the Sudano-Sahelian zone;
- Loss of livestock in some localities in the Far North and North regions, due to thermal stress and lack of water;
- Respiratory illnesses and conjunctivitis in the northern part of the Far North region, due to the presence of dust particles in the air;
- Loss of livestock in summit shelters located in the North region, the central and southern parts of the Far North region, due to electrical discharges (lightning) that are a feature of the rains at the onset of the season in the southern part of the said agro-ecological zone;
The rains that will be recorded in the southern part of this agro-ecological zone, reflect an effective onset of the rainy season (in the North region, in the central and southern part of the Far North region), which is favourable for planting.
It is strongly recommended that the population in these regions comply with the recommendations of NOCC's Agricultural Calendar for sowing during the 2024 cropping season.
This dekad from 21st to 30th June 2024 will be marked by an effective installation of the rainy season in the North region and the southern part of the Far North region. There will also be a gradual onset of the rainy season in the central part, as well sporadic rain in the northern part of the Far North region (Makary, Blangoua, Kousseri, etc.).
This dekad from 21st to 30th June 2024 will mostly be marked by the persistence of a few hot nights in some localities in the Far North and North regions, with temperatures ranging between 24 and 27°C.
This period from 21st to 30th June 2024 will be marked by heatwaves in many localities in the Far North and North regions, due to temperatures between 33°C and 40°C.
ADAMAWA REGION
It is strongly recommended that the population in this region comply with the recommendations of NOCC's Agricultural Calendar for sowing during the 2024 cropping season.
