Climate

The Ethiopian Meteorological Institute offers a range of climate services crucial for adaptation in various sectors. These include detailed monthly, seasonal, and annual forecasts covering rainfall, temperature, and humidity. Specialized products for specific seasons (Belg, Bega, Kiremt) provide probabilistic rainfall forecasts, average rainfall, humidity conditions, and insights into watershed moisture and malaria breeding conditions. This wealth of climate data is instrumental in guiding agricultural planning, managing water resources, supporting the health sector, and informing urban development. By analyzing climate trends and anomalies, the department aids in effective adaptation to climate variability and change, making its services essential for environmental planning and risk management.
