DL Situation
Desert Locust Bulletin, No. 539, Sep 2023
The Desert Locust situation was calm during August. A few small immature swarms migrated from
Eritrea
in the first days of the month to the highlands of northeast Tigray in
Ethiopia
and continued to the lowland areas of the Rift Valley where there were control operations. In
Yemen
, a few immature groups and swarms were seen in the interior, a few adult groups and hatching were in
Sudan
, and a few adults in
Egypt
while
Oman
had adults, a group, and laying. In the northern Sahel of West Africa, a few hoppers and adults were present in
Mauritania
while adults were in
Niger
. There were a few adults in
Morocco
and
Algeria
. Scattered locusts were seen on the border of
Indo-Pakistan
and hoppers occurred in Rajasthan,
India
. During the forecast, above-normal rains and small breeding are expected to continue in the northern Sahel from
Mauritania
to western
Eritrea
until about November which is longer than normal this year. Good rains are likely to occur during the winter season where breeding will start earlier than normal this year in October in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden coast from
Sudan
to northwest
Somalia
and from
Saudi Arabia
to
Yemen
. In the
Indo-Pakistan
area, below-normal rains are expected, and the southwest monsoon should withdraw by the end of September.
