• Drought can be found from some areas where the second planting season is waiting, thus examining the actual cropland and mitigation plan would be crucial.
• According to the forecast from IRI-Columbia University and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF), Timor-Leste is expected to experience a slightly increased chance of unusually wet conditions between July and September 2020.
