August 1st assessment and 2nd Outlook,2025

Bulletin

The 2nd ten days of August will received moderate to high surface water flows over most of kiremt benefiting basins. Such as most of Abay, Baro Akobo, Tekeze, Afar Danakil, Awash, Omo gibe, Upper and middle Rift valley basins will have high surface water, As a result, the previously available surface water will be reduced infiltration, therefore rainwater will leads to flooding. In addition, there will be a possibility of flash floods, especially in flood-prone basins, as well as an increase in river levels, and inundation of rivers in the lower basins of rivers originating in the upper basin. Hence, communities living along the river banks, in wetlands and swamplands should be cautious.
