Short summary
The results of this study show that extreme rainfall in November 2023 over Equatorial Africa was controlled by several factors, including strong sea-surface-temperature anomalies in the Niño-3.4, North Tropical Atlantic, Equatorial Atlantic and Indian Ocean Dipole regions; changes in zonal winds; the Walker circulation; the moisture flux and its divergence; and the easterly jets. The information we derive can be used to support risk assessment in the region and to improve our resilience to ongoing climate change.
