Igad weather centre casts doubt on rains but urges caution

East Africa’s doubts on long rains this season may yet turn out to be true especially as the region continues to record mixed results with some regions reporting inadequate rains.

Zanzibar, for example, has experienced heavy downpours and fierce thunderstorms as predicted by the Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) which had issued a “warning,” the second highest   alert that Pemba and Unguja will be subjected to heavy rains and thunderstorms.
