Remote sensing monitoring showed that, in October 2025, desert locusts were primarily distributed along the upper Nile Valley corridor and adjacent areas in Egypt, the southwestern Red Sea coastal zone and neighbouring mountains in Saudi Arabia, and the western Red Sea coast and southern Gulf of Aden coast in Yemen, affecting 15.3, 17.1, and 18.7 thousand hectares of vegetation, respectively. Over the next two months, desert locust activity is expected to remain at generally low levels. In Egypt, the lack of continuous rainfall in the upper Nile Valley will not be favourable for sustained breeding, and locusts will mainly persist as isolated adults. In southwestern Saudi Arabia, localized rainfall along the Red Sea coast and adjacent mountain foothills may allow small-scale supplementary breeding, but overall population levels will remain low. In Yemen, green vegetation along the western Red Sea and southern Gulf of Aden coasts will support small numbers of adults and hoppers; as vegetation in the interior continues to dry, locust activity will be largely confined to short-distance movements along the coastal belts, making large-scale migration unlikely. As this period coincides with the main planting and growing seasons for food crops in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and the major harvest season in Yemen, continued monitoring of desert locust dynamics is essential to prevent recurrent losses in crop growth and agricultural and pastoral production.
