El Niño is currently present, bringing flood risks to various regions, including parts of Africa. In our area, persistent dryness is a concern, particularly in East Africa. Heavy rains are causing flood alerts in coastal West Africa, but dry conditions persist in other areas.

The Sudd wetlands of South Sudan are experiencing inundation, while severe rainfall deficits have led to abnormal dryness in parts of East Africa. Further details on the weather hazards and their impact are available from ReliefWeb, including information on drought conditions and forecasted weather patterns.
