This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature..

In the south, in the east Africa coastal forest, there are regions in which there is a tropical savanna climate. In the Cal Madow region of Somalia, there is cold steppe climate. In the northeast, annual rainfall is less than 4 inches (100 mm); in the central plateaus, it is about 8 to 12 inches (200 to 300 mm).
Because of its location near the equator temperature varies little throughout the year, with maximum temperatures between 30 and 33 °C and mean minimum temperatures between 21 and 27 °C. Average annual rainfall is about 200 mm. Rainfall occurs mostly from April to June, as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) moves northwards.
Every year, in the period shortly after the Gu rains from March to July, flash floods hit the lower Jubba and lower Shabelle regions of Somalia. These flash floods cause devastation and destruction, causing casualties and displacement. In recent years, the effects of the floods have increased compared to past floods.
