Drought |
Zambia |
The dry spell has from mid-January this year affected most of the central and southern half of the country, which has received less than normal rainfall leaving 1 million hectares of maize destroyed, almost half of the country's maize cultivation. It is also projected that the drought will lead to a power deficit or 430 Megawatts and affect ground and surface water levels, with severe consequences for sectors beyond agriculture since +80 per cent of Zambia electricity generation comes from hydropower. |

Marshall Islands |
The islands and atolls have not experienced rainfall since November 2023. Within these atolls, the conditions of individual islands and islets vary. Some islands have not received any rain for the past 3 to 6 months.
According to the recent outlook advisory issued by the National Weather Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA), drought conditions continue to build across the region with the ongoing dry pattern. Palau and parts of the RMI recently received beneficial rains, but dry weather will ultimately resume with showers remaining suppressed south. El Niño ‘dry phase' is still persistent and thus there will be a high likelihood of many locations experiencing severe to extreme drought |

Storm Surge |
Marshall Islands |
On 20 January, powerful waves, driven by offshore storm surges, struck several areas in the Marshall Islands. The event originated from a powerful winter storm system in the far northern Pacific. The strong winds generated a large swell that reached Roi Namur Islet in the northern part of Kwajalein Atoll. This weather-driven wave and inundation event, distinct from a tsunami, resulted from a significant wind-generated swell breaking on the Roi-Namur shores. Reports suggest inundation in other locations, including Arno Atoll and the runway in Ailinglapalap of Marshall Islands. |
