The situation is particularly alarming in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola. The rainfall deficit can reach up to 50% of the monthly norm. This is causing the drying up of water resources, including small rivers and seasonal bodies of water. In certain areas, there is a noticeable decrease in the flow levels of major rivers and a reduction in the water volume in small lakes and ponds used for irrigation and watering.<br><br>Specific concerns are raised by forest and savanna fires, including outbreaks in arid regions and at the borders of forested areas. In some provinces of the DRC and Angola, the number of thermal anomalies (fire hotspots based on satellite data) in April exceeds the average of recent years. Fires are increasing the migration of wildlife, and the drying up of water resources is affecting fishing, which also poses a threat to food security and the income of local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-29ada79\" id=\"\u043c\u0430\u0434\u0430\u0433\u0430\u0441\u043a\u0430\u0440-\u0438-\u0440\u0435\u0433\u0438\u043e\u043d-\u0441\u0430\u0445\u0435\u043b\u044c\" data-block-id=\"29ada79\"><style>.stk-29ada79 {margin-bottom:18px !important;}.stk-29ada79 .stk-block-heading__text{color:#000000 !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">Madagascar and the Sahel region<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">April in the Sahel saw no record temperatures: the average temperature was around +35 degrees. But even without extreme warming, the soil is already degraded, and chronic water shortages are increasing evaporation and reducing moisture available for agriculture. Combined with population growth and pressure on pastures, this increases the risk of further land degradation and resource conflicts.<br><br>Madagascar is in a similar situation, experiencing the worst drought in recent years. The rainfall deficit reaches 70%, with temperatures approximately 1 degree above normal. The consequences are severe: a significant part of the cassava and corn harvest has been lost, with serious losses also reported for other crops in certain areas. It is possible that in the coming months, the country will require humanitarian assistance, including food support and water supply programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-1e4b7e7\" data-block-id=\"1e4b7e7\"><style>.stk-1e4b7e7 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;}.stk-1e4b7e7 .stk-img-wrapper{filter:drop-shadow(0px 0 2px #78787880) !important;}.stk-1e4b7e7 .stk-img-wrapper img{border-radius:var(--stk--preset--border-radius--large, 16px) !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch stk--shadow-0px 0 2px #78787880\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-8235\" src=\"https:\/\/subtext-lab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/\u0438\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435_2026-05-01_165008930.png\" width=\"1848\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/subtext-lab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/\u0438\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435_2026-05-01_165008930.png 1848w, https:\/\/subtext-lab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/\u0438\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435_2026-05-01_165008930-1536x353.png 1536w, https:\/\/subtext-lab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/\u0438\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435_2026-05-01_165008930-300x69.png 300w, https:\/\/subtext-lab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/\u0438\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435_2026-05-01_165008930-768x177.png 768w, https:\/\/subtext-lab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/\u0438\u0437\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435_2026-05-01_165008930-1024x235.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1848px) 100vw, 1848px\" \/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\">Red maroon areas on the map \u2014 temperatures above +40. <br>Source: Zoom Earth<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-b5a4172\" id=\"\u0432\u044b\u0432\u043e\u0434\u044b\" data-block-id=\"b5a4172\"><style>.stk-b5a4172 {margin-bottom:18px !important;}.stk-b5a4172 .stk-block-heading__text{color:#000000 !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">Conclusions<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">April 2026 became a month of climatic contrasts.
