The Horn of Africa region is among the worst hit by climate change as drought, floods, and pests become common amid higher temperatures of 32 degrees Celsius.
After a terrible heatwave that saw temperatures soar to 42°C in countries such as South Sudan, the month of March is expected to bring rains. And it may not be a blessing to cool off the region, but bring with it disastrous floods.
A heatwave is a hot period of at least three consecutive days when temperatures exceed the normal range, usually reaching the highest 10 percent on record.
