Haiti Seasonal Monitor, January 2026
- Above-average cumulative rainfall with erratic distribution was reported over Haiti in late December and January, increasing localized runoff and erosion risks.
- Vegetation conditions were generally above average on short-term soil moisture gains, with localized stress persisting.
- Early spring conditions were broadly favorable, and the report notes that the benefits remained fragile because of rainfall irregularity and non-climatic constraints.
- The report names non-climatic constraints alongside the rainfall, which is unusual for this series.
FEWS NET's Haiti Seasonal Monitor for January 2026, dated January 29, 2026. Above-average cumulative rainfall with erratic distribution was reported over Haiti in late December and January, increasing localized runoff and erosion risks. Vegetation conditions were generally above average on short-term soil moisture gains, with localized stress persisting. Early spring conditions were broadly favorable, and the report notes that the benefits remained fragile because of rainfall irregularity and non-climatic constraints. The report names non-climatic constraints alongside the rainfall, which is unusual for this series. The monitor reads the season under way: cumulative rainfall against the long-term mean, vegetation condition from satellite NDVI, and what both imply for planting, crop development and harvest. Its cover date closes the 30-day window it reports on.
