Farmers in #Yemen expect a good yield as a result of the rains flooding agricultural lands on the banks of the valleys.
Although rain is likely to continue in most areas of western Yemen, predictions indicate that tropical storm Biparjoy will not have a direct impact on Yemen. However, it is not recommended that you enter the sea. This is according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)'s Agricultural Climate Bulletin for Yemen.
According to the bulletin, vegetation cover in western Yemen was better than typical due to a lot of rain in May, as well as high humidity levels. Other locations, such as Lahj and Abyan, were stressed as a result of poor rainfall.
It is worth noting that rainstorms in May destroyed property, livelihoods, and infrastructure in many areas, particularly in the country's central highlands and western regions. Farmers, on the other hand, anticipate a big yield as a result of the rains flooding the cultivated lands on the valley banks. The rains also increased the availability of forage for animals, resulting in its improvement.
Forecasts for the month of June indicate that places with high rainfall and greenery may be impacted by Fall armyworms, particularly in maize and vegetable fields. This has a serious impact on Yemen's food security.
According to the bulletin, the greatest temperatures were recorded in Hodeidah, Al-Mahra, and Hadramout, while Dhamar, Sana'a, and Amran had low temperatures throughout the month of May. Similarly, studies show that global temperatures are generally 1.2 degrees Celsius higher than in the pre-industrial era, with the next five years predicted to see the highest temperatures ever recorded.
