Areas with a savannah climate in Sub-Saharan Africa, such as Ghana, Burkina Faso, [23] [24] Darfur, [25] Eritrea, [26] Ethiopia, [27] and Botswana have a distinct rainy season. [28] El Nino results in drier-than-normal conditions in Southern Africa from December to February, and wetter-than-normal conditions in equatorial East Africa over the ...
There are cycles seen within the rainfall data from Northern Europe between Great Britain and Germany, which are seen at a 16-year interval. Southern Europe experiences a 22-year cycle in rainfall variation. Other smaller term cycles are seen at 10-12 year and 6-7 year periods within the rainfall record. [40]
Ethiopia's climate is predicted to warm between 0.7°C and 2.3°C by the ed of the 2020s and between 1.4°C and 2.9°C by the 2050s. The county's vulnerability to climate change could increase poverty and dependency on rain-fed agriculture.
The length and severity of the dry season diminish inland (southward); at the latitude of the Amazon River—which flows eastward, just south of the equatorial line—the climate is Af. East from the Andes, between the dry, arid Caribbean and the ever-wet Amazon are the Orinoco River's Llanos or savannas, from where this climate takes its name.
The average annual rainfall for South Africa is about 464 mm (compared to a global average of 950 mm [3]) but large and unpredictable variations are common. Overall, rainfall is greatest in the east and gradually decreases westward, with some semi-desert areas along the western edge of South Africa. For most of the country, rain falls mainly in ...
From south to north, depending on the latitude with variations due to the relief, the tropical climate has three very different types: A humid tropical climate: at altitude, around the Adamaoua. rainfall here is abundant: around 1,500 mm per year. the temperature is moderate all year round (around 20 °C) and the dry season in Ngaoundéré goes from October to January
The exact attribution of climate change to the occurrence of droughts and floods in Ethiopia is difficult. One study from 2022 stated for Ethiopia: "While regional models predict increase in rainfall, higher resolution analyses for Ethiopia suggest spatial variations in which there are both increases and decreases in the overall rainfall averages.
Zanzibar-Inhambane lowland rain forest It found mostly in Tanzania, on the windward (east-facing) slopes of the Uluguru, Nguru, and Usambara Mountains, and in parts of Ulanga and Iringa districts. Trees form a closed evergreen canopy up to 20 meters tall, with emergent trees up to 40 meters tall. It is now reduced to small remnant patches. [1]
