The 7-day cumulative satellite rainfall estimate (RFE) image (Map – 1) indicates moderate rains were received within the Juba and Shabelle basins both in Somalia and within the Ethiopian highlands. The rainfall forecast for the coming week (Map – 2) is pointing towards continued rainfall activities of light to moderate rains within the Shabelle and Juba basins both in Ethiopia and Somalia.
There remains a moderate risk of flooding along the lower reaches of Shabelle River in Somalia. The situation could be worsened by artificial breakages of river banks in these areas. There is however minimal risk of flooding during the coming week along the Juba River.
