This study exploits variations in heat levels during a household survey spanning 150 countries in a quasi-natural experiment to show that particularly hot weeks are associated with higher chances of food insecurity among households (0.5767, 95% confidence interval 0.2958–0.8576, t = 4.024, d.f. = 427,816, P < 0.001).Rising temperatures are expected t…
This report notes that higher-than-average temperatures are predicted for the Limpopo Basin from June to November 2023. A delay in the onset of the rainy season in November ispredicted, and a reduction in rainfall and higher temperatures induced by the 2023 strong El Niño event are expected for the Limpopo Basin from January to March 2024.Historic data…
