In the most-likely scenario the Oct-Dec rains are expected to start on time and overall season totals are expected to be average, though rains during the second half of the season are likely to be less favorable. 2. The consensus-based climate outlook concluded on the 29th Forum of Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook (1-3 Sep. ’11) predicts near normal rainfall with a slight tendency to above normal in southern regions; near normal to below normal in Central and North, apart from Awdal region (near to above normal). 20 Likely Price Movement in Southern Somalia (Sep-Dec 2011) Staple cereal prices and projections - Baidoa Staple cereal prices and projections - Qorioley 21 Food Security Outcomes Food Security Outcomes (Aug – Sep ’11) Projected Food Security Outcomes (Oct-Dec ’11) 22 Thank You
