Seasonal Outlook for Climate Risk Planning
Seasonal Climate Outlooks provide long-term forecasts of expected rainfall and temperature patterns over a period of three months or more. These outlooks indicate the likelihood of above-normal, normal, or below-normal conditions, supporting strategic planning and risk management.
Developed using regional and global climate models combined with local observations, seasonal forecasts help anticipate climate variability and potential impacts on key sectors.
These outlooks are essential for agriculture, water resource management, disaster preparedness, and policy planning, enabling early action and informed decision-making across Lesotho.
