Meteorological Service Predicts Best Rainy Season in 35 Years

The Meteorological Department has forecast exceptional long-range climate indicators suggesting the upcoming rainy season will be the strongest and most abundant in over three decades, potentially the best in 35 years. The forecast anticipates successive low-pressure systems bringing deep cold and humid air masses, leading to record rainfall and snowfall that will significantly exceed average annual levels.

This anticipated rainfall is expected to replenish water reserves, with predictions of full dams and a historic recovery for groundwater and natural pastures, following years of global warming and relative drought. The Meteorological Department has urged municipalities and civil defense agencies to increase preparedness and clear drainage systems early to prevent floods and torrents in low-lying areas and valleys due to the heavy precipitation.

The department issued a call for early readiness, emphasizing the need to clear drainage networks to mitigate potential flooding in vulnerable areas. This outlook offers hope for a season of abundance, particularly for farmers who have faced challenging conditions in recent years.
