In May 2019 Ezega reported that climate guidance pointed to below-normal rainfall across much of Ethiopia, raising worry for farmers heading into the main growing season.
Dry forecasts matter in a country where rain-fed agriculture still feeds most households and where weak rains quickly show up as food-price and power-generation stress.
Seasonal outlook wires are easy to forget once the rains arrive or fail, so keeping the May 2019 alert preserves a dated climate checkpoint.
Kept as climate and agriculture archive, the Ezega rainfall note marks one pre-season warning for Horn food security readers.
