| Comments: | The islands and atolls have not experienced rainfall since November 2023. Within these atolls, the conditions of individual islands and islets vary. Some islands have not received any rain for the past 3 to 6 months.
According to the recent outlook advisory issued by the National Weather Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA), drought conditions continue to build across the region with the ongoing dry pattern. Palau and parts of the RMI recently received beneficial rains, but dry weather will ultimately resume with showers remaining suppressed south. El Niño ‘dry phase' is still persistent and thus there will be a high likelihood of many locations experiencing severe to extreme drought |
