Light to moderate rain is expected over parts of northern Somalia (Awdal, Woqooyi Galbeed, Sanaag, Togdheer) and localized areas in the south (Gedo, Lower and Middle Juba), while dry conditions dominate central and southern regions High temperatures (35–40°C) will persist across much of central and southern Somalia, increasing evapotranspiration and moisture stress Shabelle River levels remain elevated and propagating downstream, posing a risk of localized flooding if additional upstream and local rainfall occurs Rainfall is expected to result in localized improvements, but recovery will remain uneven, particularly in southern drought-affected areas
