Drought conditions in Sahel

Posted by: Tropicsweatherpr, 11:54 AM GMT on January 22, 2012

For sure,this will affect millons of people in that part of the world with starvation,but the bigger question is if this present drought will be a factor down the road in terms of less tropical waves and a below average Cape Verde season. Time will tell about that.

Sad. And for awhile it had looked like the Sahel was recovering from the severe droughts of the 70's and 80's through reforestation and better farming practices. Hopefully those poor people go through less suffering than their neighbors to the south east in Kenya and Somalia. Member Since: August 9, 2011 Posts: 0 Comments: 195

Quoting Tropicsweatherpr: Is also my favorite area for the same reason as I like longtrackers that are fish. yeah, me too. I prefer watching a big system with a large eye, rather then a tiny spsystem with a small eye. them small systems more prone to windshear and dry air problems then the biggins are :D Member Since: August 4, 2011 Posts: 43 Comments: 3953

Let's see if by April going into May,the weak wave train starts rolling as it occurs every year or on the contrary,is a slow wave activity. Member Since: April 29, 2009 Posts: 63 Comments: 8098

it would be very pleasing to have a category 5 come rolling across the atlantic, and turn out to sea 'fore hittin anything Quoting Tropicsweatherpr: Let's see if by April going into May,the weak wave train starts rolling as it occurs every year or on the contrary,is a slow wave activity.

Quoting DDR: Isn't April the time on year when we start to see convection flare-ups in west Africa? That is right as things start to get moist there. Let's see what happens. Here is the latest news from the Sahel,where many people still are starving. Link Member Since: April 29, 2009 Posts: 63 Comments: 8098
