Based on the collected climate data analysis for March 1st dekad, it has been observed that there was a conducive climate to the breeding and development of vector-borne diseases, especially malaria, in the southern half and northeast of Ethiopia. Additionally, over the next 10 days, there will be conducive weather for the development and survival rate of mosquitoes in some pocket areas of southwest and northeast Ethiopia.
In terms of weather comfort, most parts of the country have experienced pleasant conditions for both humans and livestock. However, certain regions, like Afar, Gambela, and Somalia, might be affected by moderate heat stress. Looking ahead to the next 10 days of March 2nd dekad, the low-lying border areas of the country will experience uncomfortable conditions, which will affect both humans and cattle.
