West Africa – It’s raining (hard) again
Many of our colleagues in Budd’s West African offices report that the rainy season has hit hard this year, resulting in:
- stoppages in cargo operations
- power and telecommunications failures
- severe flooding.
The wet season usually occurs between May and October in the following West African countries:
- Benin
- Burkina Faso
- Cape Verde (rains can be more erratic here)
- Cameroon
- The Gambia
- Ghana
- Guinea
- Guinea-Bissau
- Ivory Coast
- Liberia
- Mali (southern regions)
- Mauritania (southern regions)
- Niger (southern regions)
- Nigeria
- Senegal
- Sierra Leone
- Togo
The extreme meteorological conditions of recent years have weakened infrastructures and increased the impact of the wet season.
