. The establishment of the Climate Application and Prediction Centre for Central Africa (CAPC-CA) comes in response to the difficulties which the individual National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) in the area face in fulfilling their mission and providing national users with high-quality climate

For example, the fisher folk community on Kenyan side of Lake Victoria refer to a certain strong wind coming from the southwest as “Ogingo”. This wind brings the danger of waterspouts which

the world from rising above 1.5C with confidence. In this set of scenarios, meeting the COP26 pledges likely implies an overshoot of 30 to 70 years, reaching an average value of around 1.7C before coming back down to around 1.5C at the end of the century.”  Although feasible, the overshoot trajectories come
