The Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region
DL Situation
Desert Locust Bulletin, No. 540, Oct 2023
The Desert Locust situation was calm during September. Summer breeding occurred in
Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Mauritania, and Chad
. A few small groups, bands and swarms occurred in the interior of
Sudan
, a couple of swarms in
Yemen and Ethiopia
, and some control in
Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Oman
. Isolated adults were in
Niger, Morocco, Egypt, Somalia
, and
Pakistan
. The southwest monsoon withdrew in Indo-Pakistan, and the summer seasons ended because of defi cient rainfall. During the forecast, this year’s summer season is expected to continue longer than usual in a few places of the northern Sahel near northwest
Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and Sudan
due to above-normal rains predicted in October and November. During the winter season, locusts from the interior of
Sudan and Yemen
will move to the Red Sea coast where above-normal rains are anticipated during the last dekad of October. As a result, the fi rst generation of breeding will start, especially in
Sudan
where there may be groups of hoppers and adults, as well as in
Saudi Arabia, Yemen
and northwest
Somalia
, and continue until about March.
