AbstractIn March 2015, the arrival of El Niño was officially declared and, according to the latest forecast, there is a 80-90 percent probability that it will continue until the end of the year. Currently, El Niño-related weather anomalies are a concern especially in the areas where the 2015 main cropping season has just started, including southern Asia, East Africa and West Africa. Close monitoring of developments is, therefore, warranted to help devise appropriate response measures.
