September 2026
In Sri Lanka, harvest of second season (Yala) rice and maize completed with good prospects thanks to above average crop biomass in the main producing provinces as a result of a good start of season. Since August, temperatures have been 1-2C above average and a large part of the country, in particular the northern half, received well below average rainfall from 10 August to 10 September, but these dry conditions related to El Niño occurred at the end of the rice and maize cycles.
