Widespread Showers Bring Relief Across the Country
Several regions across Mauritania experienced significant rainfall in recent days, with showers reported in nine inland wilayas (provinces). The precipitation, which was recorded by the Mauritanian Meteorological Office, marks a welcome development for communities that have been anticipating the start of the rainy season. These rains are particularly important for agricultural and pastoral activities, which form the backbone of the rural economy in Mauritania.
Regions Benefiting from the Rainfall
The rainfall was distributed across a wide geographical area, touching various towns and villages in the following wilayas:
- Hodh Ech Chargui
- Hodh El Gharbi
- Assaba
- Gorgol
- Guidimakha
- Brakna
- Tagant

In some areas, the rainfall was light, while in others it reached moderate levels. These showers are expected to improve soil moisture and support the growth of vegetation, which is crucial for both farming and livestock grazing.
Positive Outlook for Agriculture and Livestock
The recent rains are seen as a positive sign for the upcoming agricultural season. Farmers and herders in the affected regions have expressed optimism, hoping that the rainfall will continue in the coming weeks. The early showers help prepare the land for planting and provide much-needed water sources for animals, especially in areas that have experienced prolonged dry spells.
