Recent weather events have caused significant devastation across southeastern Africa, particularly affecting Madagascar and the French island of Mayotte. Tropical Cyclone Dikeledi has resulted in heavy rainfall and flooding, leading to the death of at least three individuals in Madagascar. The impact of Dikeledi follows closely after Cyclone Chido, which severely struck Mayotte only a month prior.
