Rekordstore nedbøssrmængder og ødelæggende oversvømmelser ramte mindst 19 land på tværs af vest og central Afrika, dræbende tusinder og fortrængende titusinder andre. Over 400.000 hektar af agerjord er blevet ødelagt, forværrende en voksende hungersnød. Det er blevet betragtet som en af de værste katastrofer i regionen. overRecord rains and devastating floods hit at least 19 countries across West and Central Africa killing thousands and displacing tens of thousands.
"Nedbøren er usædvanlig i år. Der har været vedvarende regn siden starten af sæsonen, siden august, september og selv her i oktober hvor det fortsætter med at regne," sagde Kousoumna Libaa, en klima specialist.
Nigeria har oplevet dets værste oversvømmelser i et årti, førende til mindst 600 omkomne, mens titusinder af husdyr er blevet tabt til vandet og de vandbårne sygdomme. 18 af Nigerias 36 stater er ramt.

I Cameroon forårsagede vandmasserne betydelige skader i den nordlige region, ødelæggende afgrøder og huse, og regeringen i Chad erklærede en katastrofetilstand efter at oversvømmelsern havde ramt mere end 1 million mennesker.

Nogle landmænd har mistet mere end 75% af alt hvad de har plantet i år, en ny faktor som vil forværre fødevarepriserne idet inflation allerede er på rekordniveau. Some farmers have lost close to 75% of everything planted this year, a new factor that will worsen food prices as inflation rates are already at record highs.

We have been pointing out for many years here that record precipitation and floods have nothing to do with man-made climate change, this is a phenomenon connected to natural climatic cycles.
