El Niño Appeal

Written By SomReP Team

Somalia presently faces an increased chance of climate-related disasters, despite the country emerging from one of the worst droughts in the last 40 years. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) forecasts a 90% probability that the onset of El Niño, together with an expected positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), will impact Somalia during the second half of 2023. While El Niño doesn’t always manifest in the same manner, in Somalia, El Niño has been associated with flooding and heavy rain in the south, and droughts in the north.  From October to December of 2023, above-average rain is expected for the Deyr Rain season.
