# I. INTRODUCTION
The objective of this seasonal climate forecasts is to determine the climate situation for the next three months in Cameroon's five agro-ecological zones. The information contained in this Bulletin takes the form of forecasts of major trends in climate parameters (warmer or colder, drier or wetter) compared to the norm observed for over 60 years.
The National Observatory on Climate Change (NOCC) is offering an overview of seasonal climate trends for the months of March, April and May 2025 in a context where Cameroon is increasingly vulnerable to the harmful effects of climate change, which impact key sectors of its socio-economic development.
To optimize the resilience of these sectors to climate disruptions, NOCC has produced its 30th Seasonal Bulletin of Climate Parameter Forecasts for Cameroon's five agro-ecological zones. This Bulletin presents seasonal forecasts of climate parameters (rainfall and temperatures), potential impacts on socio-economic development sectors (agriculture, livestock, health, water and energy, tourism, environment and biodiversity and public works) and proposed solutions to adapt/adjust to these impacts.
