Concise description:

Every season ICPAC issues a bulletin with the expected climate conditions for the GHACOF region in the Horn of Africa for the following season. This includes the probabilities of normal, above-normal, and below-normal rainfall in 4 distinct regions. Information on the forecast of the onset (start) of the rainy season, number of dry spells forecasted for the season and cessation (end) of the rains is also available. The bulletin also includes a description of possible impacts and recommendations (mitigation measures) for different stakeholders together with an analysis of Drought risk and vulnerability for the region.
