A prolonged dry spell is heightening the risk of rapid onset drought across affected regions through the middle of September, according to weather experts.

The persistent dry conditions could lead to flash droughts, which can cause significant damage to agriculture, economies, and ecosystems, officials warned.

Authorities advise farmers and residents to monitor local forecasts and prepare for potential drought impacts as conditions persist.
