Violent storms, flash floods are more likely to occur. Heavy downpours in a short space of time may occur during the season. There is still the possibility of prolonged dry spells occurring during the season. The occurrence of tropical cyclones is a possibility during the season. (NB: Comprehensive Tropical Cyclone forecasts are usually issued in November and the Department will communicate this information as soon as it is available.) Prolonged periods with high temperatures are highly likely. The prevalence of malaria and water-borne diseases is more likely. Given the current forecast, there is a need to improve stocks of seed and fertilisers. There is a higher risk of leaching during the season. Soil conservation technologies such as construction contours and storm drain to be done. High rainfall may mean an increase in livestock disease therefore farmers should stock up on dipping chemicals and ensure consistent dipping. Water harvesting programmes and conservation agriculture practices are encouraged. The current high-water security in the country is set to be further boosted in the upcoming inflow season in light of the forecasted normal to above normal rainfall season. The expected situation will result in excess inflow into the rivers and national dams. More dams are expected to spill in the upcoming season. The risk of riverine flooding is anticipated to be high. *More: Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
