A SCIENCE LESSON
How to say warning in Swahili: Onyo
In the first months of 2024, Tanzania has faced devastating impacts from extreme weather events. On May 2, 2024, flooding and landslides claimed the lives of at least 155 people. These tragedies have been exacerbated by heavy rains amplified by the El Niño weather pattern, a natural climate phenomenon known for its global weather disruptions, including droughts in some regions and heavy downpours in others.
Adding to the challenges, Cyclone Hidaya is approaching the eastern coast of Tanzania, with an anticipated landfall expected on May 3, as per the latest weather forecasts. The Tanzania Red Cross Society has issued alerts, stating that the presence of Cyclone Hidaya is likely to impact weather patterns across the country, bringing heavy rainfall and strong winds to regions near the Indian Ocean.
