2026 Seasonal Climate Prediction

Topic: SCP

Document Type: SCP

The 2026 Seasonal Climate Prediction (SCP) is based on a projected weak La Niña and a neutral phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and forecasts an early to normal onset of the rainy season, normal to late cessation, and normal to above normal rainfall and season duration. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for most parts of the country. Onset refers to the expected start of the rainy season, while "cessation" indicates when it is likely to end. The length of season describes the duration between the onset and cessation dates.
