As the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) shifts further south in October, rains are expected to spread both eastwards and southwards from Somaliland. As the NOAA-NCEP GFS, forecasts mostly dry conditions in most regions of Somaliland including Maroodijeex, Awdal and Saaxil during the upcoming week. Light rainfall of up to 30.0 mm is expected over isolated areas in Ceerigaabo district in Sanaag region, and Laas Canood district in Sool region and southern parts of Burco district in Togdheer region. Although the residual effect of ITCZ is still expected to lead to cloudiness, the rest of Somaliland is expected to be dry.
