The El Nino event of 2015-2016: climate anomalies and their impact on groundwater resources in East and Southern Africa by Kolusu, S.R., Shamsudduha, Mohammad, Todd, Martin C., Taylor, R.G., Seddon, D., Kashaigili, Japhet J., Ebrahim, Girma Yimer, Cuthbert, Mark O., Sorensen, J.P.R., Villholth, Karen G., MacDonald, Alan M., Macleod, D.A.

“…Over Southern Africa the most intense drought event in the historical record occurred, based on an analysis of the cross-scale areal intensity of surface water balance anomalies (as represented by the standardised precipitation evapotranspiration index – SPEI), with an estimated return period of at least 200 years and a best estimate of 260 years. Climate risks are changing, and we estimate that anthropogenic warming only (ignoring changes to other climate variables, e.g. precipitation) has approximately doubled the risk of such an extreme SPEI drought event. …”
