Madagascar has one of the highest cyclone risks among African countries, with an average of three to four cyclones affecting the country every year. Cyclone season begins in November and ends in March and can cause significant damage across the island nation.
Ten days after Tropical Cyclone Batsirai hit the south-east coast of Madagascar, another tropical weather system, Tropical Storm Dumako, made landfall on the north-east coast of the country on 15 February between Sainte-Marie Island and Antalaha.
The people of Madagascar are experienceing the effects of Climate Change now – right now – not in the decades to come – right now.
