The Ethiopian Meteorology Institute has released a weather forecast indicating that spring rains are expected to intensify across many parts of the country over the coming 10 days, particularly in the Somali Region.
According to the forecast, the region is expected to receive light to moderate rainfall ranging between 1–29 mm. In some areas, heavy rainfall exceeding 30 mm within 24 hours is also anticipated.
These rains are mainly associated with moist air flow crossing the equatorial region, which significantly increases the likelihood of rainfall. However, there is a possibility that some areas may experience intense rainfall that could lead to flash floods.
Therefore, communities living in low-lying areas, including along rivers, valleys, and major seasonal streams, are advised to remain alert and take necessary precautions.
Finally, weather forecasts are scientific estimations based on available data and may change over time. Rainfall is ultimately by the will of Allah SWT, and it is important to combine preparedness with trust in Allah.
