Experts from Cardiff University are leading a significant research initiative aimed at addressing the severe weather threats posed by El Niño in Somalia. This collaboration includes various academic institutions and NGOs.

The focus of the research is on the anticipated floods in Somalia for 2023, drawing parallels with the catastrophic flooding experienced in 1997. The team aims to extract valuable lessons from past events to inform current strategies.

The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated, as the potential for unprecedented weather patterns could have devastating impacts on the region. Immediate action is essential to mitigate risks and protect vulnerable communities.
