SUMMARY
Most of Southern African Development Community (SADC) is likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall for the period January to May. The periods are split into rolling three monthly outlooks namely: January to March (JFM), February to April (FMA) and March to May 2013. Northernmost parts of the contiguous SADC, southernmost Madagascar are expected to receive normal to below-normal total rainfall (Figure 1) in JFM while in FMA (Figure 2), it is only the north-easternmost parts of Tanzania that will experience normal to below normal rainfall. During the MAM (Figure 3) period, the sub-region will receive mostly normal to above normal rainfall with the extreme north-western parts of DRC receiving normal to below normal rainfall.
