Introduction We are pleased to present the final update of the 2025β2026 agroclimatic monitoring activities in Afghanistan, conducted as part of FEWS NETβs ongoing monitoring efforts. We appreciate your continued engagement and support throughout this reporting cycle. The report uses satellite-based rainfall data, CHIRPS v3, together with FEWS NET analytical tools to support evidencebased decision-making. One of these tools is the Seasonal Monitoring and Probability Generator (SMPG), which provides localized, polygon-level insights into the evolution of the rainfall season. Users can interactively access plots by selecting any polygon. According to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, a weak La NiΓ±a event ended in early 2026, and ENSO-neutral conditions are currently present. Based on the mid-May NOAA CPC ENSO outlook, there is more than a 90 percent probability of El NiΓ±o development in June-July-August (JJA) with conditions likely to persist through December 2026 to February 2027 (96 percent chance). Under these conditions, a set of ENSO-neutral analog years was selected to support comparative analysis. These include: 1992β1993, 1993β1994, 1994β1995, 1995β1996, 1997β1998, 1999β2000, 2000β2001, 2007β2008, 2008β2009, 2009β2010, 2011β2012, 2012β2013, 2014β2015, 2016β2017, 2017β2018, 2018β2019, 2020β2021, 2021β2022, 2022β2023, 2023β2024, and 2024β2025. As is our usual practice, reporting will pause starting in June and will resume in October with the onset of the 2026/27 wet season.
