dc.descriptionRains started in April in Burkina Faso and became abundant over the south and the centre in May. The rainy season started in May in the south of Chad, Guinea Bissau, Mali and the extreme south of Niger. First rains were registered in early June in southern Senegal and The Gambia. Rainfall became quite abundant in early June over most producing areas. Land preparation and plantings are progressing following the onset of the rains. Seasonably dry conditions prevail in Cape Verde, Mauritania and no rthern parts of Senegal. The last Meteosat image for the first dekad of June indicates that cloud coverage moved northwards and westwards but cloud duration, and therefore intensity of the rains, decreased in southern Mali and Burkina Faso. Rains should have started in southern and central-eastern Senegal, The Gambia, most parts of western Mali, and the extreme north of Burkina Faso. They were quite abundant over the main producing areas of Niger, allowing the start of planting, and progres sed northwards in central Chad. By contrast, rainfall decreased in southern Mali and in southern and central Burkina Faso.
