Kruger National Park Closed Due to Flooding Linked to Climate Change

Recent flooding in Southern Africa has caused widespread damage and prompted the temporary closure of Kruger National Park. A new study links the intensity of these floods to climate change.

Study Findings on Rainfall Intensity

The World Weather Attribution group’s research indicates a significant increase in rainfall intensity across the region. The study determined that rainfall has intensified by 40% compared to preindustrial levels. Warmer ocean temperatures, associated with greenhouse gas emissions, are cited as a contributing factor to this increased intensity.

Impact Across Southern Africa

Flooding began in December and has affected Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini. Affected areas experienced rainfall exceeding a year’s typical accumulation.
