NewzThe Ethiopian Meteorological Institute (EMI) has issued a warning regarding a significant shift in weather patterns as the El Niño phenomenon persists. Forecasts for the Bega season indicate that southern regions of Ethiopia should prepare for rainfall levels up to 75 percent above the historical norm. This shift introduces a heightened risk of flash flooding across these areas.
In addition to the flood risks in the south, the forecast identifies the potential for unseasonal rains impacting key harvest zones. While the increased precipitation is expected to provide benefits for pastoral regions, the overall weather outlook presents a period of sharply contrasting risks for the country's agricultural and environmental stability.
