In Vanuatu, above average rainfall can cause flooding, soil erosion, crop damage and damage to infrastructure.
Drought can cause crops to wither and die, and water sources to dry up.
Rainfall data helps VMGD’s meteorologists and climatologists provide early warning of these two kinds of extreme hydrological events.
