Flooding risks remain in southern Kenya, while severe drought continues in southern Africa
Due to poor rainfall since November western Namibia is in a severe drought. Conditions may worsen as limited rain is forecast next week.
In southwestern Madagascar, an uneven and inadequate rainfall distribution since the start of the rainfall season has resulted in severe drought. Drought conditions are likely to persist.
In northwestern Angola, little to no rainfall is forecast next week, which could increase moisture deficits and worsen conditions on the ground.
Rain last week caused flooding, damage and fatalities in Kenya. Additional rain is forecast next week.
