🔥 Heat Alert: Climate Agency Predicts Temperature Surge
The Horn of Africa is set to sizzle! IGAD's Climate Prediction Center warns residents to prepare for above-normal temps reaching up to 35°C (95°F) across parts of the region from August to October. Some areas might feel like living in an oven 🥵, while eastern Sudan and neighboring Ethiopia/Eritrea zones could catch a slight 'break' with cooler trends.
🌍 Weather Whiplash: Dry vs. Wet Extremes
While the eastern Horn faces drier conditions – think parched landscapes and thirsty crops – northern areas may battle heavier rains. This climate rollercoaster highlights why scientists call the region one of Earth's most vulnerable to weather extremes. 'We're seeing more intense droughts and floods than ever before,' notes the ICPAC report.
⚠️ At-Risk Countries:
Djibouti
Somalia
South Sudan
Kenya
Uganda
Climate experts urge communities to prepare for potential impacts on agriculture, water supplies, and public health. Stay tuned for updates! 📈
