Trocaire Malawi wants farmers to get early weather reports before the planting season starts. Phillip Nyasulu works for Trocaire as a climate officer. He spoke at a training meeting with Senior Chief Chamba. The meeting happened in the Machinga district. Staff from many groups came to learn about weather planning.

The Irish government funds this program called the Irish Aid Civil Society Program. Trocaire works with weather experts and other groups on this project. They teach staff how to read weather reports. The staff will help farmers understand what the reports mean, which helps farmers pick the right seeds and prepare for bad weather.

Yobu Kachiwanda leads weather forecasting for the government. He likes what Trocaire does for farmers. Annie Kondowe works for CADECOM and attended the training. She learned how to explain weather reports to farmers. The training gave her new skills to help people.

Four districts will benefit from this project. Machinga, Balaka, Dedza, and Chikwawa all have farmers who need weather information. Trocaire believes early warnings will help farmers deal with climate problems. Better weather information means farmers can protect their crops and families from disasters.
