Dar es Salaam. The government has unveiled a series of measures aimed at strengthening Tanzania’s preparedness for El Niño and other extreme weather events, including the development of a national contingency plan, enhanced early warning systems and expanded public awareness campaigns.
The initiatives come after the Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA) projected in May a 90 percent probability that El Niño conditions would develop between October and December 2026, raising concerns over an increased risk of floods and other weather-related disasters.
