In the coming month of August 2025, meteorological forecast indicates that rainy weather conditions are likely to intensify. In line with this moderate to heavy rainfall is expected, particularly in the north-eastern, northern, central, south western and western parts of the country, as the rainy conditions strengthen. These regions will experience significant moisture, which will be beneficial for crops at various stages of growth. It will also play a crucial role in meeting the water requirements of perennial crops, garden vegetables, and fruits, as well as improving pasture and drinking water availability for pastoral and semi-pastoral communities. However, the frequent increase in rainfall may lead to adverse effects in some areas, including water logging of crops in poorly drained fields, landslides and flooding in highland and sloppy areas and the proliferation of crop diseases and weeds in humid conditions. Therefore, farmers and relevant stakeholders are advised to take precautionary measures such as constructing flood diversion channels, preparing field drainage canals, and applying herbicides and pesticides in a timely manner, based on current weather conditions.
