The World Meteorological Organization reports the strengthening of the El Niño phenomenon, which could potentially last until February 2027, significantly impacting the global weather pattern.
In the Horn of Africa region, the rainy season from October to December is expected to be wetter than usual in several countries. Some areas may receive over 400 millimeters of precipitation.
These regions include parts of Somalia, Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania. These seasonal rains are critically important for the entire region, as they provide up to 70% of the annual rainfall in some places.
