Monitoring Summary
Introduction to Ethiopian Climate
Current rainfall characteristics of Ethiopia
are classified into three distinct rainy seasons. These are: (1) the dry (Oct–Jan: ONDJ), (2) the short rainy (Feb–May FMAM), and (3) the main rainy (Jun–Sep: JJAS) seasons.
The first two seasons correspond with the main East African seasons (OND and MAM) whereas the third season corresponds with the Sahelian rainy season (JAS). The seasons are locally defined as Bega, Belg and Kiremt, respectively.
