Weather: The alarming alert from authorities for the Kédougou region

As the 2026-2027 rainy season approaches, Kédougou authorities are raising concerns about increasing climatic risks. A generally wet rainy season is expected, with excess runoff in the Gambia River basin, raising fears of significant flooding. In September 2025, the river level reached 7.08 meters, exceeding the alert threshold, and 613 people have been affected by significant agricultural losses. Authorities are calling for urgent preventive measures to avoid increased human and economic losses.
