The South Sudan Meteorological Service is forecasting between 50 and 100 millimetres of rain in several parts of the country from 20 to 28 October, and warns that temperatures will be above normal. The heaviest rainfall is expected notably in parts of Central and Western Equatoria, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Warrap, Lakes, Unity and Jonglei states.
Most other regions are expected to receive less than 30 millimetres. Average temperatures could exceed 28°C across much of the country, with a risk of heat stress, particularly in central, northern and eastern areas. The service recommends limiting prolonged exposure to the sun, seeking shade during the hottest hours and drinking enough water.
Winds of 2 to 6 metres per second are expected across most of the country and could reach 8 metres per second in Eastern Equatoria. The meteorological authorities advise farmers and livestock keepers to adapt their activities to the expected rainfall. Residents and road users in the wettest areas are also urged to prepare for water accumulation, localised flooding and disruption to roads and bridges.
