Seasonal Monitor of agricultural growing in West Africa

The West Africa Seasonal Monitor for October 2015 is now available: http://documents.wfp.org/stellent/groups/public/documents/ena/wfp278831….

The WFP Seasonal Monitor examines satellite imagery of rainfall and vegetation in order to assess the development of the growing season and how such conditions might impact the lives and livelihoods of the resident populations. Real time satellite data streams and seasonal forecasts are analyzed to highlight potential developments that may be of humanitarian concern.

This Seasonal Monitor webpage provides real time satellite data streams and seasonal forecasts to highlight changes in the progression of the agricultural season that may be of concern.
