Climate: The Impact of El Niño on the Rainy Season in Somalia

This year, the El Niño phenomenon, marked by an exceptional warming of sea surface temperatures, is affecting the rainy season in Somalia, increasing the risk of flooding. Farmers like Nuh Adan warn that if the river overflows, the impacts could last until the next rainy season in March. Residents of displaced persons camps, such as Kamillo Muse, fear heavy rains will force more people to flee, especially after three years of insufficient rainfall. El Niño continues to intensify, worsening extreme weather events in the region.
