Key takeaway SOUTH & SE ASIA Dryness Flood The monsoon is underway across the region, with drier-than average conditions affecting much of South Asia.
Why this matters
The global seasonal outlook presents a concerning picture for food security, particularly in the Horn of Africa where Somalia is at risk of a second consecutive poor season. The potential repercussions for an already critical food security situation are serious, and Christian charities and relief organizations may need to increase their efforts to support affected communities. The El Niño phenomenon, which is currently underway, is likely to exacerbate dryness conditions in various regions, including South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America. This may lead to a higher demand for humanitarian aid, and faith-based organizations may play a crucial role in providing relief. The forecast of a potentially very strong El Niño event between November and January adds to the urgency, and nonprofits accredited by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability may need to prepare for a significant response to address the needs of vulnerable populations.
