Uganda |
Following heavy rains of 27th November 2024 across Bulambuli District and the neighboring districts, the flooding was triggered by the overflow of River Simu, which inundated nearby households, destroyed crops, and disrupted major roads, including Sironko-Kapchorwa and Muyembe-Nakapiripit. This led to the collapse of bridges and transport disruptions. Later that evening, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the conditions also led to landslides events in eight villages in Buluganya parish and other areas in Sooti, Sisiyi, and Bulago sub-counties. While the floods have had impact in the riverine communities, the most significant impact and humanitarian need came from the landslides which caused extensive destruction, displacing thousands of families. |

Sri Lanka |
The deep depression in the Bay of Bengal conditions to the northeast of Sri Lanka has caused heavy rains across the country since 23rd November 2024. The heavy rainfall along the coastal side, which has continued since 23rd November, triggered flash floods in the country on 26th November 2024.
On 29th November 2024, the Department of Meteorology issued a ‘Red' alert warning for Cyclone “FENGAL” over the Southwest Bay of Bengal for the land and the deep and shallow sea areas around the island. As per the warning, the Deep Depression over Southwest Bay of Bengal moved north-northwestwards and intensified into a cyclonic storm “FENGAL” and was located about 280 km northeast of Kankasanthurai and 310 km north-northeast of Trincomalee.
Heavy flash flooding has affected low-lying regions, and disruptions to fisheries have led to warnings from Sri Lanka's Disaster Management Centre. Authorities have advised fishermen to suspend their operations.
Several roads and bridges have been damaged, particularly in the Northern, North Central, and Eastern Provinces. The primary route from Colombo to Ratnapura, Wellawaya, and Batticaloa has been temporarily closed, and the public is advised to use alternative routes.
The Disaster Management Centre reports that 475,000 individuals have been affected across 232 Divisional Secretariat Divisions in 24 districts due to the indirect impacts of Cyclone FENGAL. |

On 7 November 2024, the National Meteorological Institute (IMN) issued a Meteorological Advisory reporting that, following the indirect influence of Hurricane Rafael, the Intertropical Convergence Zone persisted over the Central American Isthmus. This phenomenon, combined with the passage of Tropical Wave #45, exacerbated soil saturation across various regions of the country, reaching critical levels in both Peninsulas, the North Pacific, South Pacific mountains, Northern Zone, Central Pacific, and Central Valley. Due to the elevated saturation levels, these areas faced significant vulnerability to potential incidents, prompting the IMN to recommend heightened preventive measures |

Honduras |
Tropical Storm Sara made landfall on late 14 November near the Honduras-Nicaragua border, bringing sustained winds of 45 mph and heavy rainfall, with up to 30 inches expected in parts of northern Honduras, posing severe flooding and mudslide risks.
Sara has already affected more than 20,500 people in Honduras. Authorities have placed multiple departments under alert, with public offices and humanitarian networks standing by to support. In Belize, officials and UN teams are actively preparing for Sara's possible landfall within 72 hours. Other countries in Central America are also evaluating potential impacts from the storm.
Sara previously left heavy rains to Panama and Costa Rica, both of which had recently taken on high rainfall from Rafael earlier in November. The non-stop rains prompted evacuations in Costa Rica and an emergency declaration in Panama.
Sara is the 18th named storm in the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which was forecast to produce between 17 and 25 named storms.

Fire |
Syrian Arab Rep |
Multiple fires have recently occurred in the coastal and central regions of Syria. The potential causes of these fires are diverse, including
the warm eastern winds commonly observed during this time of year. Additionally, an abundance of dry vegetation that burns rapidly,
coupled with reduced moisture content in trees, contributes to the fire risk. There is also a possibility that some fires have been ignited
due to human activities.
Since October 29, 2024, there has been a marked increase in fire intensity, particularly in the Homs and Lattakia governorates. The
majority of the fires have been reported in rugged mountainous and remote areas. The size and severity of certain bushfires have
produced localized weather phenomena, that trap heat and generate strong winds, further exacerbating the fire situation. High wind
conditions have facilitated the rapid spread of the flames, with some fires crossing highways and roads. The lack of capacity for the
firemen such as vehicles and fuel are some of many other factors affecting the capacities of public services due to the continuities of
Syrian crisis including the impact of different inputs (the Middle East crisis, the sanctions, climate change, etc.).
Separate fires also occurred in Tartous governate however the scale of those fires is limited with limited impact on the local population. |
