The rainy season started earlier than usual. Following first scattered rains in the centre-south in late April, above normal rains were registered during the first and the second dekads of May, allowing land preparation and first plantings to start. However, precipitation decreased in late May. The weather remains dry in Diffa nad Agadez departments. It is estimated that about 28 percent of the villages had finished their plantings as of 20 May, instead of only 4 percent last year.
The pest situation is calm. A few isolated Desert Locusts may be present in
parts of Aïr and Tamesna where conditions are suitable for survival and
locally improving. Limited breeding is expected to commence in the Tamesna with
the onset of the summer rains. No significant developments are expected.
