Early drought warning for farmers
in Pakistan this winter
• In late October, the Pakistan Meteorological
Department informed Khan and other farmers
that no rain was forecast for the crucial wheatgrowing months of November and December in
parts of northern Pakistan that rely solely on rainfed agriculture.
• The warning was one of the first of its kind from
Pakistan's weather service, aimed at helping
farmers look ahead months, rather than just days,
and plan for crops more likely to survive drought.
