Data & methodology: live weather and 7-day forecasts from Open-Meteo (ECMWF and national weather models). River-flow forecasts from GloFAS, the Copernicus Global Flood Awareness System, compared against 10-year high-flow thresholds computed for each city’s river reach (2015–2025). Seasonal calendars and planting windows compiled from FAO GIEWS, FAO SWALIM and FSNAU publications. This board is general information for farmers and partners; planting and harvesting decisions should also weigh local field conditions and extension advice. Read the full methodology →
