Rain with strong winds looms north east Somalia
Members of the Somali Media for Environment, Science, Health and
Agriculture (SOMESHA) made a tremendous nationwide climate monitoring
outlook after the government of Somalia announced yesterday morning
that weather storms may hit many coastal areas in the country.
After a cabinet meeting in Mogadishu yesterday, the government has
called all communities living on the coasts to be
vigilant as weather
forecasts predict that storms may hit Somali coastal areas widely.
SOMESHA members in Puntland and Mudug regions reported that Heavy
rains with strong winds have been battering parts of Puntland in north
east Somalia for the last 20 hours particularly towns and villages
alongside the coast.
Residents in the coastal communities have been bracing for the bad
weather after forecasts of the weather have been extensively aired and
posted through the local media throughout Somalia.
Most of the areas, where the strong winds and heavy downpour are
affecting, are towns and villages with large numbers of internally
displaced and the IDPs live ramshackle camps so there is a concern
that their houses may be destroyed by the winds.
Many thanks,
Rahmo Isack
