Continued heavy rainfall causes flooding in Sudan and Nigeria
Africa Weather Hazards

2. Torrential rain led to destroyed houses in Central Darfur, Sudan. Heavy rain is forecast to continue during the next week. High flooding risks in the region continue.
3. Heavy rain caused fatalities and flooding over areas of the Lagos, Oyo, Niger, and Abuja regions of Nigeria. Moderate to locally heavy rain is forecast during the next week, which could trigger new flooding.
