There was a record breaking increase in the water levels of #LakeVictoria.
During 2019, 8 cyclones developed over the #IndianOcean, the highest amount since we have records.ย Which contributed to good breading conditions and facilitated migration of #DesertLocust to #EastAfrica

The western part of the #IndianOcean has been warming rapidly during the past 100 years and it is affecting the frequency of extreme weather events like cyclones

Research shows that under a warming scenario of 1.5 degrees C, these extreme positive Indian ocean dipoles #IOD could happen twice as often.
The durations of the three seasons are getting shorter due to late onset and early withdrawal of the rains.
Communities are having very little time to recover between extreme climatic events. Climate change presents a new challenge to already vulnerable communities and threatens to undo the developmental gains made in the region.
