Several Horn of Africa countries are set to experience heatwaves due to elevated temperatures, said the Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC) of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad) on Tuesday.
In its most recent forecast, ICPAC predicted that heatwaves would occur in the upcoming days despite the fact that most of the region's countries are experiencing heavier-than-normal rainfall during the March-May rainfall season.
