https://futureclimateafrica.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screenshot-2021-05-27-at-14.16.24.png530595East Africa’s rainfall depends on water vapor moving through the lower atmosphere from the Indian Ocean into the continental interior as far away as the Congo River Basin. When the jet streams that drive this water flow more swiftly, this often results in drought conditions over countries like Tanzania and Kenya. This system’s influence may even stretch as far south as Mozambique.
