Africa Weather Hazards
As the rainy season in Senegal comes to an end and harvesting begins, reduced crop yields due to this summer’s poorly distributed rainfall and delayed onset of the rainy season in July could become evident.
Consistently heavy rain during the past several months and an intensification of rainfall during the last three weeks has caused flooding in Jonglei and Eastern Equatoria States of South Sudan. The flooding has killed at least 10 people, displaced thousands more, and destroyed infrastructure. Flooding is likely to continue during the next week given forecasts for continued heavy rainfall.
