Rain gauges and radios - why climate information is crucial for communities in Niger
Climate change causes an increasing number of exceptional dry periods, heat waves or sudden, heavy rainfalls in many regions in Niger. Thus, farmers and smallholders depend on weather forecasts to be able to adapt and save their yields. The Niger national meteorological department (Niger MET) runs programmes to improve climate communication in rural areas – with the support of NORCAP.
