The El Niño climate phenomenon characterized by above-average Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) in the Pacific Ocean, is expected to persist and influence Zambia’s rainfall pattern during the 2023/2024 season.
This condition typically results in reduced rainfall in Zambia. As a result, the upcoming 2023/2024 rainfall season is anticipated to exhibit the following characteristics:
Onset of rains in October over Northwestern Province, the northern parts of Luapula and Western provinces;
Onset of rains expected over most parts of Zambia in November, with the exception
of the southern regions where it is likely to begin by the end of December;
Normal to Below Normal rainfall over most parts of Zambia;
And Periods of prolonged dry spells and episodes of heavy rainfall events.
