Analyzing the effects of drought at different time scales on cause-specific mortality in South Africa
South Africa (SA) is highly vulnerable to the effects of drought on the environment, economy, and society. However, its effect on human health remains unclear. Understanding the mortality risk associated with different types of droughts in different population groups and by specific causes would help clarify the potential mechanisms involved. The study aims to comprehensively assess the effect of droughts of varying time scales on cause-specific …
Climate variability affects water-energy-food infrastructure performance in East Africa
The need to assess major infrastructure performance under a changing climate is widely recognized yet rarely practiced, particularly in rapidly growing African economies. Here, we consider high-stakes investments across the water, energy, and food sectors for two major river basins in a climate transition zone in Africa. We integrate detailed interpretation of observed and modeled climate-system behavior with hydrological modeling and decision-re…
Potential impacts of 1.5 °C, 2 °C global warming levels on temperature and rainfall over Madagascar
Outputs from 25 regional climate models within the coordinated regional downscaling experiments—Africa are used to assess the impacts of the 1.5°C and 2°C global warming levels (GWLs) over Madagascar. A robust increase in the annual mean temperature ranging from 0.9°C to 1.2°C (1.3°C–1.8°C) is projected in the 1.5°C (2°C) GWL. The west and southwestern parts of the island display the highest rise in temperature. On the other hand, the changes in …
The ‘Day Zero’ Cape Town drought and the poleward migration of moisture corridors
Since 2015 the greater Cape Town area (∼3.7 million people) has been experiencing the worst drought of the last century. The combined effect of this prolonged dry period with an ever-growing demand for water culminated in the widely publicized 'Day Zero' water crisis. Here we show how: (i) consecutive significant decreases in rainfall during the last three winters led to the current water crisis; (ii) the 2015–2017 record breaking drought was dri…
