Djibouti —<\/strong> The Horn of Africa (HoA) region will have warmer-than-usual temperatures during the August-October season, the climate prediction agency of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in some countries of the region could rise up to 35 degrees Celsius, the Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC) of IGAD, a regional bloc, said in its latest update.<\/p>\n

However, normal to cooler-than-normal temperatures would be recorded in some parts of eastern Sudan and the adjacent areas of Ethiopia and Eritrea, the ICPAC said.<\/p>\n

Other countries that make up the Horn of Africa region are Djibouti, Kenya, South Sudan, Somalia and Uganda.<\/p>\n

Besides the higher temperatures, the ICPAC noted, the eastern parts of the Horn of Africa are expected to be drier than usual during the August-October season, while the northern sector would be wetter than usual.<\/p>\n

According to the ICPAC, the Horn of Africa is one of the regions most vulnerable to climate-related risks, experiencing “highly variable and erratic rainfall, together with rising temperatures, droughts and floods that have increased in frequency and intensity in recent years.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
