"More than usual rainfall expected in most parts of Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Somalia, Ethiopia and South Sudan," the ICPAC said in a statement, advising the communities in high-risk areas to exercise caution during this period.

ICPAC在一份聲明中表示，“烏幹達、肯亞、盧安達、蒲隆地、坦尚尼亞、索馬利亞、衣索比亞和南蘇丹大部分地區的降雨量預計將超過平常”，並建議高風險地區的社區在此期間保持謹慎。

According to ICPAC, the affected areas in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi would receive over 200 mm of rain.

The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations and IGAD noted in a recent report that the Horn of Africa has 67 million food-insecure people.

The institutions said that multiple climate shocks and hazards contribute to a high level of food insecurity in the region, which is prone to droughts, floods, conflicts, economic instability and displacement of populations.

這些機構表示，多重氣候衝擊和災害導致該地區糧食高度不安全，容易發生乾旱、洪水、衝突、經濟不穩定和人口流離失所。
