term normal (Fig.6) for the most part of the country. Cooler temperatures in the high elevated areas 
remain average shown in both the observed and long-term temperatures.

seasons, Fig.7 shows a positive trend for the year 2025 up to 11th November. The cumulative WSI has 
reached a high of 1053.78%, this condition is highly favorable for livestock grazing and suggests a good 
foundation for crop growth in areas where planting is underway or planned.
